Neighborhood burn platform


At the head of every major street there is a large metal receptacle of some sort. Ours happened to be a giant wheel barrow. These are for all burnable garbage... Burning Man is the largest leave no trace event in the world, which means everyone who comes plays with a "pack it in, pack it out" mentality. Used to be folks just burned it all, right there, down to couches, tires etc... Common sense, and the right to breathe, finally won out.... now you can only burn wood, paper, and compost... I bet some people miss the smell of smoldering plastic though...
