Metal will scrape off. So will plastic, to some degree. It is difficult to find solvents for the plastics generally used in these containers. And, in addition, they are toxic as heck and will drive the material into the concrete. Dump some ice on the remains and let is cool for a while, then chip it off. If you want to go to the trouble, sandblast it a bit to finish the job. If the can caught fire and melted, you might have a bit of penetration into the concrete. Burning it off is a poor idea because it will damage the concrete, and it's probably against most ordinances to do something like that. Mechanical removal is best; avoid chemical actions like solvents or fire.

Advice or tips on mainting my driveway.?

There are several things you need to do to maintain your driveway and keep it from cracking. First, remove any vegetation that is close to your driveway. Trees and bushes may send roots out that will eventually grow underneath the concrete and cause it to crack. You should also edge your driveway. Make sure your water disposal systems are kept in good working order. Water flowing under your concrete can cause freezing in the winter. Finally, use a concrete water sealant.
