What do you do with the leftover scraps, are you allowed to burn them? :

I don't think it adds anything positive to the biosphere, nor to the chimney or local environment. I believe it's bitumen, a product derived from distillation of crude oil, at least what acts as the binder in asphalt. I wouldn't burn it in my stove but would take it to a recycling center.

Thank you, I've been wondering what to do with the scrap and it hasn't felt right to burn it. I'll see if I can drop it off somewhere, do you think the hardware stores have any clue? :

Call the municipality's environmental office or waste management company. They can definitely answer.

I have had to dispose of it as combustible waste at the dump.

Everything that burns can be burned

 

[Mats]

Jepp and asfa burn well too but if you are allowed to, that's another question

 

[Tossegubbe]

Don't you honestly think that it results in at least as much emissions of hydrocarbons etc. to drive them a mile to the dump? (where they are at least burned)

There is some difference in the combustion that occurs when you burn in a stove/in a heap or when they burn at waste stations. There they have meters and can control the combustion to make it as efficient as possible.
