What ever anyone does who takes this please do not burn it. From what I can see much of the wood is talanised (the green coloured wood) and from what I understand it is not the sort of stuff you want to be burning as a result of the materials used to preserve the wood.

I used to believe it was copper and arsenic that was used, but it is hard to see  exactly what is in it these days. I did try to fact check myself before putting something up someone would pick holes in and from what I can see the talanisation process used TANALITH:

"TANALITH® E preservative has a unique copper and organic biocide (triazole) formulation allowing TANALITH® E treated timber to be used where special environmental concerns or restrictions exist, as well as the everyday construction, landscaping and engineering applications for which treated timber is reowned, e.g. children’s play areas."

Either way, burning will release the copper and what ever else remains unburnt into the air around your home, and will leave residuals in the ash too!
