BURNING INFORMATION

What can you Burn?

You may burn ONLY dried vegetation (NO GARBAGE, PAPER, CARDBOARD, PROCESSED LUMBER, CONSTRUCTION DEBRIS, ETC).  Basically if it grew on your property you can burn it. There is a state-wide prohibition on the use of burn barrels. Burning leaves or lawn clippings is not recommended due to the high moisture content and acrid smoke which may cause a public nuisance. The burning of any material that causes a public nuisance is prohibited. Air drying of green vegetation is required prior to burning.

NO household trash or garbage can be burned outdoors at residences. Remember, burning can only be done permissive burn days.
