Why dont you just rinse them out and put them on Gumtree/Fcebook Market place for £2 each. Gardiners/valetors or window cleaners always after them. If you wanted to buy them brand new of eBay there a tenner each...

Burning plastic is illegal unless you have an ea authorisation number and also gives off noxious gasses and you are left with a horrible molten mess , no thanks ?? unfortunately we get through a considerable number each week it wouldn’t be practical to try and do that , used 20 drums over the last two weeks .

I just cut them with my grinder to a height that will fit on my top shelf.

I know it's illegal, if you spread burning them out though no one would notice.
