Disposing of Fireplace Ashes

Hi, I'm Bobby on behalf of Expert Village. Everyone loves having a warm fireplace on a cold winter day. The downside to that is that you have to clean the fireplace. In this series we are going to tell you how to clean the inside of the fireplace, your chimney and even repaint the inside of your fireplace to make it look new. I want to take a second to talk about boxes and bags that you might store the ashes from your fireplace. These ashes you need to dispose of them properly so that you can be sure they are totally out and put them in a box like this if you need. I also like to perhaps get one of these heavy duty contractor trash bags. They are really great to use. They hold up very well to a lot of stress. You won't want to put this in a lightweight trash bag that you use for your kitchen because you don't want any chance of your ashes to rip that bag and come out so either put it in a heavy duty box or in a lightweight trash bag and you should be in good shape.
