Burning - Outdoor Residential
Burning Notification: 1-800-986-3595
Outdoor burning is burning of household yard waste, such as leaves, grass, brush and other yard trimmings. It is also burning to clear land of trees, stumps, shrubbery, or other natural vegetation.
Things you should know before you do any outdoor burning
· Burning is not the only way to dispose of natural vegetation. Consider composting and chipping.
· When and where burning is allowed, you may only burn unprocessed natural vegetation.
· Your smoke must not impact your neighbors, and you must put out your fire if it does.
· Do not leave your fire unattended.
· The fire should not include materials hauled from another property.
· It is illegal to burn construction and demolition debris.
· Always check with your local fire department for permit and safety requirements before you light any outdoor fire.
· You are required to call and the Burn Hotline: 1-800-986-3595
