Building a burn barrel is a relatively simple and inexpensive way to dispose of yard waste, such as leaves, grass clippings, and small branches. Burn barrels are also a good option for burning trash in areas where there is no other way to dispose of it.
Burn barrels are typically made from metal drums or barrels, but they can also be made from other materials, such as concrete or brick. The important thing is that the material is able to withstand the heat of the fire. Burn barrels should also have a lid to help prevent sparks and embers from escaping.
