Don’t call it waste
Why not? It was what my mate called it and it was no longer fit for purpose. Like garden waste it could be recycled and was.2014 MY Discovery XS Indus Silver. Sadly gone. Second last LR of forty eight years continuous ownership.

He's just been shampooed and rinsed in the local river and likes nothing better than drying in front of the fire
Love how a one size fits all approach is taken on this.
Out in the sticks here sometimes the burner is our only source of heat during power cuts as the Boiler won't light or worse we run out of gas for our tank, not so bad these days with telemetry.
ur lab looks nearly as stressed out as mine after a swim

Funny enough I moved out of the Town couple of years ago to a village and walking the dog on cold nights the air is foul due to chimney smoke - mainly coal fires I suspect - it was better in the town Wanted a Series 2 LR since childhood but previously owned MY16 Disco Sport HSE TD4 Auto, MY13 RR Sport Black Edition TDV6 Auto, MY10 RR Sport HSE TDV6 Auto, 2007 Freelander 1 Freestyle TD4 Soft Top, 2009 Freelander 2 GS TD4 Auto, 2007 Freelander 2 GS TD4, 2004 Disco 2 Metropolis Auto, 2002 Disco 2 GS, 2000 Freelander 1 SE TD4 SW

Ha ha!
I'm on the edge of a village on the edge of Bodmin Moor, so no gas either and we use oil.
The problem seems to be that, unless you live in a Smokeless Zone (from the 1950's), then people can burn pretty much what they want, when they want to. If a whole load of stoves go in, anything can go on them (scrap wood, painted wood - potentially lead painted, general waste - heck, even used engine oil, apparently!) and there's nothing to control it. If that's a larger town, or something in a valley, it could get pretty nasty.
I can see a good reason to introduce controls where it could become a real local public health issue.2011 - 2015: 3 x FL2
