– Q. The ones that do burn or bury their nails, how much burning is needed and how deep do they have to be buried?

A. Horav Shlomo Miller’s Shlt’a opinion is that just covering them with earth is enough. Changing color would also suffice for being burned.

The above leniency applies especially, since likely they have already been removed from the place they were cut and as the Talmud writes and Mishna Berura quotes (260: 6) then they don’t do any more harm.
