Around here they want your Lat and Long in order to issue a burn permit.(LOL)
If we have a permit (and comply) and a forest fire results we are off the hook. (kind of an insurance)
Problem is that we are supposed to log onto the forestry web site to see the cautions.
Sure, everybody has his blackberry in hand when he strikes a match, especially in this very poor reception area!
But all being said, complying with the regs and a resulting forest fire result gets us off the hook for liabilities.
So we log on and get an annual burn permit!
Called CYA!

You're right there Mate. 'They' pretty much treat us as adults.
Mind you, rural living Aussies are fairly 'switched on' when it comes to burning and the potential for bush fires. All that the State Fire Brigade asks is that you consult their website for burning conditions (yes or no) and get a "Burn Permit" (which is free). The permit is so that the local Brigade knows about it and doesn't have to run around like a blue-arse fly looking for a fire. :fire:

Around here you must get a burn permit IF your open fire is more than .3 m cubed, I am guessing a 1 cubic foot area. And then the permit is null and void if there is a fire ban happening.
All my fires are in the decommissioned wood stove so I don't need a permit.

I have to drive a bit to a recycling center but it takes paper, plastic, cardboard, glass, kitchen scraps, yard waste, oils, antifreeze, batteries, TVs, metal.... All for free.
I do it every Saturday morning in my pickup with a cup of Jo and the 3 dogs and they don't let me forget to do it. I ditched the burning barrel but do have an old BBQ grill that I burn some paper in (old check books, credit card solicitations, etc.) about twice a year. Beyond that we are down to one 30 gallon garbage can per month which costs $5 to dispose of and it is often only half full except when I receive a shipment with styrofoam. I hate that stuff. I bought a Bosch gravity stand for my table saw and the styrofoam cost me $5 to dispose of !

Here is is $10 entry, plus you are weighed in and out and pay a weight fee. Only a little of what you listed is free at the recycling center. There is lots of illegal dumping. Might be a connection.

I think recycling for the most part should be free, particularly if you self haul. Certainly for the materials of value to the recycling industry. The easier it is to get rid of recyclable material the more goes back into product and less dumping, less burning, less garbage, etc.

Wow... pay for recycle? Not here... you pay for what you dump. Recycling of glass, plastic, paper, metal, cardboard, batteries, etc. is free. Just need to haul it to the transfer station. With recycling and composting we go to the dump/transfer station once a month. Total cost is $11.
