Tires, tar, tar paper, oil and other similar materials are not approved ignition devices. Our air quality is your responsibility. Consider chipping, shredding, mulching and composting yard waste. Composting yard waste, using leaves and grass clippings for mulch are alternatives to open burning. Composting leaves and grass clippings produces valuable soil fertilizer through the natural process of decomposition.
Compost piles are simple to begin and maintain, and take up relatively little space.
Exceptions to Burning The only wastes which can be legally burned are tree trimmings, leaves, dry pine needles, and plants that are derived from the property on which they are being burned. Burning must be done on burn days.
