Should have thrown some tyres in as well.
I'd love to be able to do that.
Burning tyres release toxic chemicals into the atmosphere. Benzene, xylene, ethylene, and acetone are among the most dangerous compounds released during the burning of tires. These chemicals have been linked to cancer and birth defects.
Besides the Koalas will get black faces and fur.
Burning plastic isn't a great idea ,but is done all over the world

Of course, some plastic is burned in incinerators for disposal and for electricity production. This commercial incineration process occurs at much higher temperatures than a fire at home. If the fire is not hot enough it will smoke.
The fire I had melted alloy but I generally wouldn't recommend burning catchers , It's a pity we went to plastic catchers as the old
metal catchers recycle themselves when they rust away. The catchers were stored a long way from any roads to get them out and I didn't want to bury them.
Our car tyres are burnt in india to make dirty diesel.
I've cut catchers up before Norm and put them in the bin but it's very time consuming and probably ends up getting burnt somewhere.
