Default Burning Pressure Treated Wood

I have a lot of Pressure treated scrap wood left over from a summer project.
While getting ready to throw it all away I thought my sister might be able
to use it for her wood burning stove. Then, I realized they probably use
some nasty chemicals in treating this wood. So, I've decided to throw it
out. Is my thinking on the right track or am I over-reacting?


"Never burn treated wood. Burning releases toxic fumes into the air
and has been associated with serious arsenic poisoning." --
