What about particle board? I know it has glues in it, and think it
probably should go to the landfill, but thought I'd ask youse guys.
Exterior grade products are typically glued with phenol-formaldehyde
resins, meaning that combustion products involve some really nasty
chemicals.
Probably no worse chemicals than the wood itself. I'd burn it.

Here's a guy without a clue.

Not clueless. I'm a retired chemist. If wood is typically bound with
phenol resins, there is no harm in burning and combustion products are no
worse than burning pure wood. If it contains preservatives such as
arsenicals or chlorinated compounds or flame retardants of a similar
nature, it is best land filled.

OP and some respondents are not addressing issue.

I don't need to "address" the ****ing issue. I just asked what people
thought and said that I thought it wasn't a very good idea. I asked for
input. One does that when seeking knowledge.

That is, unless the person already knows everything.

Not pointing anyone out in particular, mind you.
