How do you dispose of left over PT wood when the town won't take it?

Ooops! This stuff is the next asbestos, arsenic, copper and chromic all
into one neat bundle. You cannot dump it, leaches into water table,
cannot burn, arsenic will eventually fall, maybe into your garden. This
has been used for over 100 years now, there are multi million lawsuits
in the offing. There are expensive treatments to treat the stuff but
they are rare and it seems from the other reply that it will be left
for our children to deal with.
