Hey there, I'm planning a camping trip and want to light up a fire to keep warm at night. What's the best way to dispose of the ashes and charcoal afterward? 
I'm thinking that it would be best to bury them in a shallow hole away from the campsite, but I'm not sure if that's the most effective or environmentally friendly way. Any advice?

Burying the ashes and charcoal in a shallow hole away from the campsite is a good way to minimize environmental impact. It's also important to make sure you completely extinguish any embers before disposing of the fire and its remnants. Even if it is well-buried, leftover ash and embers can pose a fire risk for many hours afterward, so take extra precautions to ensure your campsite remains safe.

The best way to dispose of ash and charcoal from a campfire is to use a shovel to put the materials in a disposable container. Then you can bring it home and place it in your yard’s composter or dumpster, depending on local regulations.
