Published on Nov 7, 2013 What to do with all the trash??
Possible Solutions and Considerations:
1. Salvage any items for possible reuse.
2. Look for alternative uses for all trash items.
3. Burn what is absolutely necessary to burn ( burn at night to avoid detection by smoke)
4. Bury what cannot be burned.
5. Compost food scraps or use for animal feed.
Please feel free to share your ideas and comments as we all learn from each other here
Get a Bible, perhaps begin in the book of Mark or John in the New Testament. Get to know your God, Savior. Did you know that He deeply desires relationship with you, God of the universe? Get involved with a Bible-believing and doctrine-pure church, get baptized as a sign of commitment to your heavenly Father God, the triune God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob Who changes not.

Guys, this is a no-brainer. As a kid, we lived in a very remote area. Once a year, we’d get 2-3 steel 55-gallon barrels from our closest town (a deep pit, like for an outhouse would also work). We’d use a cold-chisel and 3-lb hammer to cut out the top of the drum, then place it in the burn-pit area (half dug into the ground, with a wood-board fence surrounding the pit). We sorted our trash, and all paper, wood, etc., that would easily burn, we’d burn in the burn barrels. Steel, aluminum and other metals, as well as broken glass and porcelain, we’d bury in a separate pit. Food left-overs that weren’t eaten would either go to the chickens or pigs. We did have to replace our barrels about once-per-year, because after you heat them that hot, every-day-or-two, in a year’s time with rain and fog, they eventually rust completely away. If they filled up, you simply dug a pit and put them in it, then buried them. In effect, we handled our trash very similar to the way modern sanitation companies do in many places of the U.S.
If you do this in a survival mode, keep in mind, you may want to burn at night to hide the smoke, but more often than not, you’ll want to burn in the daytime to hide the light from the flames – as they are going to smell what you are burning for MILES, anyway. If the paper is dry, it will smoke-dissipate quickly, anyway.
Some type of screen or spark arrestor to stop glowing ashes from catching your neighbor’s house on fire may be needed. Also it is a good idea to have a few fire extinguishers in your house anyway.
