Humans
The major cause of open burning of garbage is us, humans, because we create enormous amounts of garbage that isn't necessary and when we have too much, we decide to get rid of it by burning it.
Non recyclable products
Recyclable products are very useful because they could be reused, and in turn, aren't thrown out. Non recyclable products however, can't be reused, so they end up in the garbage.
