A burn pit is an area used for the open-air burning of various types of waste, including solid waste, hazardous materials, and military refuse. Commonly found in military settings, particularly in combat zones, burn pits were utilized to dispose of everything from food waste to discarded equipment. The practice was prevalent in Iraq and Afghanistan, where outdoor incineration was seen as a quick solution to waste disposal in environments lacking proper infrastructure.
