Cleaning up after a harvest - newby ?

I am hoping to get some options or ideas on best methods for disposing of the waste after a harvest.
I live in the burbs in a single family house. I do not have a fireplace for burning any stems etc.

I am not even sure what all will need to be disposed of,
I will be growing 3-4 plants using bubble buckets.

Thanks for any tips or advice!!!

well if your not there yet dont worrie about it.. but most people choose to burn them. i reccomend at a friends house NOT your grow house. i also will suggest you trash bag it all up and let it sit for a few weeks until it is dead and brittle... the smell is almost nothing when it is like this.

or you can bag it all up and drive to a nearby city and find a dumpster and toss it in there... not hard to find dumpsters these days...

Good first advice but "drive your bin bag of weed across town" ??? terrible advice...Cars are great places to get arrested...

first off, shred all the paper/plastic refuse (potting soil bags, dixie cup wrappers etc) put it all in a burlap sack , as burlap retains no fingerprints. make sure its a cloudy moonless night to avoid satellite detection. dress in full camouflage, dont forget the face paint, and duct tape on the bottom of your shoes to hide your shoe prints. watch your local news for a catastrophe that will occupy your sheriff depts attention. at that precise moment run out thru the woods at least 2-3mi from the nearest road, bury your bag-o-goodies 4-6' deep, cover w generous amount of lime to desinigrate any of your DNA residue, then back-fill the dirt. exfiltrate in a totally diff direction than you came, backtrack thru streams, walk backwards several times, drop deer scent on your trail to ward off any possible use of dog trackers. oh, and have a GF ready to provide an alibi that you were w her studying the bible at your local starbucks that night. doesnt get any easier than that.

Now that part is covered just haul it out to nearest dumpster. What to do when its time to dry isnt that a concern as well, doesn't it stink up the place while drying also?

to cover the smell while you cure them nugs, you'll need to sneak into your local junkyard or tire dump (using the same tactical methods as taking out the trash) and start a tire fire. tire fires burn extremely hot and it takes a fire dept days sometimes weeks to put them out. depending on how big your 2-3 plants were this should be sufficient to cover the odor ......if you fear thats not quite enuff you can get some ONA Gel (odor neutralizer), burning tires and Ona should be more than enuff ....nxt problem
