Ashes must be placed in a metal container with
a tight tting lid. The closed container of ashes
should be placed on a non-combustible oor or
on the ground, well away from all combustible
materials, pending nal disposal. If the ashes are
disposed of by burial in soil or otherwise locally
dispersed, they should be retained in the closed
container until all cinders have thoroughly cooled.
Do not use the ash container for other debris or
yard waste.
