Burn Permit Rules and Regulations
While burning may be the simplest way to clean up a site, you may be breaking the law.
Open burning, in a barrel or not, can release pollutants, reduce visibility, create unpleasant odors and cause toxic contamination. With this is mind, burning can still be an effective way to clean some of the debris from your yard, farm or worksite. However, you should keep in mind that under the ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AND ENHANCEMENT ACT, burning certain materials is illegal.
