Joe, looks like you're in PA so I'll just pass on what I know. I'm the zoning and code officer for our little borough and run into some of this every year.
Here, no fire company will touch a demo burn. State outlawed it a few years ago and they won't even come in on standby if you burn it yourself. If they do, they're an accessory. The only way they'll participate at all is if you jump through all the hoops and get all the necessary state permits.
PA D.E.P. says it can't be burned. If it's got paint on it, or nails in it that makes it demo waste and must be properly landfilled.
Burying it gets a little sketchy, but in general it's not legal unless all hazardous materials are removed first. Having said that, there's a lot of structures that get buried around here.
Since PA subscribed to the Uniform Construction Code, the game has changed by leaps and bounds every year.
Locally it's near impossible to find a construction company with a big excavator to bury one due to the liability laws. Normally folks here look for a farmer with a big enough machine to do it in a day and make it go away overnight.
To be completely legal, I think you would need to haul it off site to a landfill. If it were me, I'd be thinking about that big old hole.

A copse of wildbreaking silver birch and oak trees surround the top si
