ok, so we have no need for an indoor fire for heating purposes :) however, we live in a very isolated place (nearest neighbours 5-7kms away), there is no rubbish collection on the island and people just throw their rubbish down the nearest hill!!! We try to buy stuff with as little packaging as poss, can't buy newspapers with or without colour supp's. our answer to the rubbish problem is, if it can't be reused (plastic bags get washed and used for freezing stuff for example) then it goes into the fire-pit and its burnt. and yes we burn plastic's if they can't be reused, i'd love to know which is worse, burying it or burning it?

I burn any sort of wood and paper, and clean my own chimneys its quite easy.

Get a set of brushes do not let them turn in the chimney and come loose and give the brushes a little upward downward motion in every stage of putting them together .
