[I see my hands]

In the old days an "incinerator" was standard equipment in homes. Everything except glass and metal.

Kept in the basement, it was the boys job to take the garbage to be incinerated. With the lid opened the challenge was to see if you could get the flames to reach the ceiling. And the new kinds of plastic burned cool. You could drip flame all over the floor!
