With summer BBQs upon us, it's important to safely dispose of charcoal and ash to prevent fires in waste containers and/or collection vehicles. Here's how to prepare charcoal and ash for disposal:

1. COOL DOWN. Close the grill lid and vents to allow coals and wood ash to cool for 48 hours before handling. Alternatively, you can pour water over them, stir carefully, and wait until they're completely cooled down for disposal.

2. WRAP IN FOIL. Once the coals and ash have completely cooled, wrap in aluminum foil and consider placing it in a noncombustible container (i.e. a coffee can). Wrapping cooled coals and ash in foil can help avoid potential trash fires or explosions.

3. CAREFULLY DISPOSE. Place the foil wrapped coals and ash in your outdoor trash container. Dispose of the charcoal packaging, which is usually a paper bag lined with plastic, in the trash container as well.

🌐Visit AthensServices.com/Charcoal to learn more about proper charcoal and ash disposal.

🍃Sustainability Tip: Consider using additive-free wood charcoal where you can reuse the ash as plant fertilizer. The ash contains potash (potassium carbonate), which can be nutritious for many plants. However, it can also increase PH levels, so research first what is best for your plants. Avoid using ash on acid-loving plants, such as azaleas and hydrangeas, or on young seedlings and seeds.
