Chestnuts roasting on an open fire

logmaker.jpgUse your household’s burnable waste to get your fire going this festive season. That’s right. Forget chopping down trees to get your chestnuts roasted. Don’t even think about buying those petroleum based “logs” from the supermarket. Get yourself one of these nifty gadgets and you can turn your household and garden burnable waste into free logs for your open-fire, wood burning stove or chiminea. Logs are ready to burn as soon as they come out of the Recycled Waste Logmaker, and will last for between 10 minutes and one hour, depending on their contents.

Around 30% of the average household’s kitchen bin is suitable for use in the Recycled Waste Logmaker: shredded junk mail, shredded paper, newspaper, wrappings from food and household products, cardboard, tissues, ripped up toilet rolls, olive stones, nuts, tea-bags (dried), used coffee beans and coal dust can all be used, as can chopped twigs and branches, sawdust and dried leaves and foliage from your garden. Just keep a separate bin for your burnable waste so you always have something available to make your logs out of, and you’ll be significantly reducing the amount of waste you send to landfill, while keeping warm this winter.
