You didn't mention the "very good reason" unless slavish obsequiousness to
EPA regulations is one.

Per the article in my local paper the other day, burning produces PCBs
and other contaminants, very black dense smoke, residue contains
hazardous metal such as lead, etc. Anyone seeing one of those fires
shouldn't need a reason as it should be obvious it ain't good for the
environment. Seems since teh price of scrap has skyrocketed they are
finding lots of these burn sites in out-of-the-way places.

I've never heard about the EPA doing hazard clean up when cars pile up
and tires burn. Dozen vehicles in a pile from fog (VA), smoke (FL),
and who knows what in CA.

They are saving the Super Fund money....

you won't burn the steel off of it. and all you have to do is pull on the
wire and it'll pull out. THEN he can burn the insulation off in a good hot
wood fire.

I know here that if you burn it and it still has residue on it (if all the
insulation isn't melted off) they still give you the dirty price for it.
