I carefully stir my ash at around the halfway point of my smoke. I then gently tilt y bowl d=getting rid f=of the ash and then I scrape the sides of my bowl with my tamper and then tamp everything down and then light up to some serious flavors.
All my smoking is done outdoors and I dump out the ash anywhere safe. Living in Scotland mostly on damp ground.

Actually my ashes, if that's what you are referring to, will be disposed of in any manner my kid deems fit. most likely a dust bin. My pipe's ashes? As reported above.
100g empty McClelland tins indoors. I like that I can keep the lid on it so it doesn't stink up the room. When the weather is decent, I step outside and empty it on the ground. Sometimes, I let it cool then dump it in the trash.
When it is time to ash I tilt the bowl in the ashtray and gently stir the ash then dump it. I then scrape the sides and repack and light her up or another half bowl of smoking.
I use two ashtrays. I primarily use one ashtray and when I come back a day later to smoke again, if I realize I've chosen to use the second empty one, that means I can safely toss the contents of the first one in the garbage without causing a fire. My garbage in the smoke room is tied up so it doesn't stink.
I’ve developed a decent ash tray collection and they are conveniently located throughout the home. And on each level 1 room has a metal can from steel cut oats in it. After smoking ash tray content is dumped into oat can. Full oat can gets dumped in compost heap. This is of course not just ash, but dottle and matches too. It seems meant to be because the oat can has a paint can style lid and the tamper on the Czech tool fits the groove perfectly when I want to pry it open. You can even tamp it shut too.
While I suspect my wife would prefer a pipe-smoking gnome in our garden, the nymph is available here:
