Again, the laws were put there to try and stop the ever present yahoos from throwing empty beer cans and garbage into an open fire, and leaving all this crap on the ice or ground.Charred wood and ashes are completely biodegradable and return to the ground whence they came.Glass, plastic and aluminum dont, and stay there long after the wood residue is gone. We, as concerned people pay again for the stupid few who take advantage. Not a thing we can do about it.
