With the colder months here, many people are using their fireplace and wood burning stoves. Here are some reminders on how to properly dispose of your ashes.
Let ashes cool: Wait at least 24 hours for ashes to cool completely before removing them from the firebox.
Carefully place them in a metal container: Use a metal bucket—never use plastic containers, which can ignite.
Keep away from flammable materials: Place the container at least 10 feet away from your home, other buildings, and anything that can burn.
