What is exactly considered "trash"?  We have piles and piles of 2x material at work and you can't find better sh!t to burn.  A load of 2x's will heat 600 gallons of water faster than any seasoned firewood.  Now that new laws are coming and the damage has been done,I say burn away!  What else could they possibly do!?!?

2X4's would be considered construction debris therefor illegal to burn in your stove!

Untreated 2x4s are simply well seasoned pine trees.  Can't imagine even a wacko trying to enforce a reading that it would be trash.  Ok, I can imagine a wacko, but seriously...

In Michigan "they" call it dimensional lumber. Not even supposed to burn it in a brush pile.

Yes, but it's in a controlled situation where they can actually incinerate the tires, lots less smoke.

And they capture poison particulates out of the exhaust. A lot higher tech than and wood boiler.

I also think they use ground up tires in cement kilns.

And they capture poison particulates out of the exhaust. A lot higher tech than and wood boiler.

I'm having a hard time with leftover 2 by's being illegal to burn, guess slabs and cant's from a sawmill would also be on the list, isn't wood that's not treated.................wood??     We have a lot of home sawed lumber around, to the tune of up to 50,000 board feet of it drying and curing at any time.    We've had plenty of farm buildings around here that were built from home sawed lumber, and they got cut up and shoved into the boiler one stick at a time, the nails sorted out of the ashes later.     All the scrapes coming out of the wood shop also go into the boiler.   As for garbage, it depends on what you consider garbage, I'm guessing everyone has a lot of different things in their garbage compared to their neighbor, but around here anything document containing any personal information on it, gets burned.

I didn't write the laws guys,I simply took the time to read it,my interpretation of the portion on construction debris would be for used cut offs as they possibly could contain hazardous chemicals such as paint, Personally, I'll burn what I have, just saying that if they want to be nit wits and give you a hard time, you could find yourself in court or paying a fine

Sim are those laws state by state, or federal and are industrial applications included in that?    Curious because I know of a few grocery stores that burn all their pallets, cardboard and paper in large OWB's that also heat the store, along with sawmills that burn waste to heat the mills, and some manufacturing facilities that burn all their waste to both get rid of it and to heat the offices and workplace as well.
