Salvaging key leads

[Keith Roberts]

Of course burning any sort of plastic (keytops), painted surfaces, particle
board, cardboard or plywood (the glue) or TRASH will produce highly toxic
gas. Plus most people don't burn hot and their fire smolders, sometimes for
days, producing an acrid smoke that is awful.
