How do I permanently destroy blocks in Minecraft?

Question

I have been digging a mine and now have a slew of dirt and cobblestone blocks. How do I destroy them permanently and keep them from filling up my inventory?

Answer

You have a few options:

• Throw them into a pool of lava
• Throw them into a cactus block
• Throw them into fire
• Just throw them on the ground and forget about them and eventually they'll despawn. This generally takes longer than desirable, however, which is where the other options come in handy.
