Can I burn yard debris such as dry tree branches and plant stocks that accumulate throughout the year?

Yes. The City has established two (2) outside open burn periods during the year for residents to burn clean, dry yard debris and lumber scraps if they can do so safely in the space they have available, and upon acquiring an “open burning” permit from the fire department. The burning of leaves, lawn grass and garbage is still prohibited however, and no standing grass or brush can be burned. The spring burn period begins April 1st and ends May 31st. The fall burn period begins October 1st and ends November 30th.
