West Union, Illinois | We plan to burn an old building down that is next to our feedlot. My thought is dig a hole and put the building in it so the nails are DEEP when done. Call your local fire department, around here they like to come out and conduct control burns Burn a building? Bury it in the ground? Allow a fire dept. to practice? HA!See http://www.robdailynews.com/main.asp?SectionID=2&SubSectionID=2... for an example here are a couple quotes from the article: "open burning of waste by a business is illegal (except for landscape waste generated to maintain the property and agricultural waste generated on the property under limited circumstances). Examples of waste that can never be burned are commercial waste, garbage (i.e., food, food scraps, food packaging and diapers), construction/demolition debris, tires and materials containing asbestos. Open burning of garbage, construction/demolition debris, tires and materials containing asbestos is always prohibited."
Carson said construction and demolition material must be disposed of in an approved landfill.
Open dumping is also prohibited by law. Open dump sites are considered any abandoned piles of household garbage, bags of yard waste, appliances, old barrels, used tires and demolition debris such as lumber, shingles, pipes and asbestos can threaten the health of humans, wildlife and the environment.
Digging a hole to bury a demolished house is considered an open dump and illegal - and covering the hole back over with dirt does not make it okay.
