NOTICE:Burning Ban in effect!
There is currently a burning ban in effect for the state of Ohio during the months of March,April,May, October,November during the hours of 6AM to 6PM. Also see additional regulations below.
Materials you are never allowed:
materials containing rubber, grease, and asphalt or made from petroleum, such as tires, cars and auto parts, plastics, or plastic-coated wire;
garbage--any wastes created in the process of handling, preparing, cooking, or consumption of food; and
dead animals
Where is Burning Illegal?
With a few exceptions, open burning is not permitted in a restricted area. Restricted areas include:
within the boundaries of any municipal corporation;
within corporation limits and a l,000-foot zone outside any municipal corporation having a population of 1,000 to 10,000; and
within corporation limits and a one-mile zone outside any municipal corporation with a population of more than 10,000
Permitted burning includes:
cooking for human consumption (barbecues, campfires, cookouts);
heating tar;
welding and acetylene torches;
smudge pots and similar occupational needs; and
heating for warmth of outdoor workers and strikers. Use common sense: use only clean wood and restrict the size of the fire so it can be contained in a 55-gallon drum.
By notifying Ohio EPA in advance, ceremonial fires can be set for limited periods of time. Fires must be limited in size to 3 feet by 3 feet and may not burn for more than three hours.
