Here’s an example of the other extreme, garbage everywhere. I will say, I keep my trash fairly light, best I can.

I burn a brush pile about twice a year. As able, I include a few burnables in that, to ashes. I realize not an option for everyone.

La Rinconada, Peru, the highest permanent community, I think.

I take our garbage to a transfer station about 4 miles away. A 30 gal. bag is $1.50 and recycle drop off is free. They accept 5 different kinds of recycle.
