I have a large yard with so much dead vegetation, including many large branches, that I can’t compost it all. I want to make a big fire and burn it all, but wonder if there are any regulations regarding this.
In my town the answer was no, they let us know, over the town loudspeaker. Not making that mistake again.
I do it all the time, but my nearest neighbor is 300m away. Never had any complaints. I only ever burn wood. The locals around here burn their plastic trash all the time outside. I mentioned to them once about nasty chemicals from low temperature plastic fires, but they had no comprehension of what I was talking about.
I made a firepit at my in-laws house when we lived there. The house was basically in the middle of rice fields that had houses lining the only street into our hamlet, so people could definitely see us. We never had an issue when we hosted bonfires/cookouts with friends, and sometimes neighbors even wandered over to join in.
Not sure if we were technically breaking any laws, but this kinda feels like a depends-on-how-much-your-neighbors-complain kinda deal.
Where I used to live, the town hall had a specific calendar that allowed burning so that you wouldn’t risk having your laundry out on burn days.
My current town does not allow any burning outside of enclosed fire pits/BBQ grills.
I would just ask the town hall directly about their rules for the quickest answer
