“Incineration” is the controlled combustion of solid waste for disposal. “Open burning” is the combustion of solid waste without control of combustion, containment in an enclosed device, and control of emissions. See 9VAC20-80 for greater detail. Waste that is open burned should be recorded in the “Other (Other Than Mulched)” column.
