Backyard Burning of PVC

Backyard Burning of PVC

Be careful what you burn and how you burn things.

Just one internet link for your info. How accurate this link and post is I do not know:  http://completewastemgmt.com/education/backyard-burning/

 

Poster’s comments:

I have some white PVC water pipe that is broken up and needs to be removed and put away.

Now if you burn these PVC pieces at home, be careful when you do it.

Burning PVC, if the wind is blowing favorably (to you) produces some poisonous gases you can use to your advantage. But if the wind should shift, be real careful in order to protect your health and safety.

Consider burying the white PVC pieces vice burning them in your backyard. But the PVC is still there, just out of sight for the time being.

During good times, dispose of them using your local systems and setup guidelines.

These comments are about burning PVC pipe only.  Many people use PVC pipe for carrying drinking water, and that seems pretty safe these days.
