i grew up with ashes around where i lived. most homes filled in the yards and area around the homes with ashes from the coal furnaces. it must have been later that scheduled trash trucks picked up ashes and later we put asphalt over those yards and yes, save some of the area for grass. oh, and ng and oil furnaces came along.
