Compost/Chickens for food waste.

Cardboard is burned in our burn area (completely legal, and we are on over 50 wooded acres).

Anything like plastic is kind of rare, but we try to reuse the plastic containers and plastic/plastic (wrappers) can be also burned in most cases. We wind up with maybe 3 bags of plastic/plastic (wrappers) a year. Sometimes we heat dry the plastic wrappings onto other things (like taking a ramen cup's plastic wrapping and heat drying onto something like a day old pasta sauce can). Usually though, it's just a small ball of plastic and no big deal.

We also crush our cans (like pasta sauce or beans), if we have them. Most of our food is canned, so we don't usually get canned food from the store. But, if we do, we crush the cans in the crusher thing in our house.

This is how it's been for us since we moved out here. The trash has to be manually brought to the local dump, and they charge a lot. So, we reduced our trash from day 1.
