    Throw it in the burn pile. Remnants of the burn pile are raked up and shoveled into a Gaylord (old fertilizer tub) and hauled in as prepared. Living in the country allows for the burning of trash. I know the forum does not endorse burning as a method of preparing scrap, but this is a fact of life in country life. Hauling trash 30 miles to a landfill instead of burning it and adding it to the garden is not a hard choice.



    To put this in perspective, lots of old farm machinery has wood attached. Scrap yards do no pay for wood so we burn it off. Since I heat my home and shop with wood, it does not seem any different.
