Three tips on what you can use wood ash for in the home. The ash from untreated, natural firewood can be used sensibly in the household.
Unused wood ash is disposed of in the residual waste bin and not in the organic waste bin. It is important to allow the ashes to cool for up to 48 hours before disposal, either in the stove's ash pan or in a metal bucket. This prevents the garbage can from melting due to hot ash or even a smoldering fire from occurring.
