   Fall tends to be a great time to clean out old sheds,
   burn leaves, etc.  Before you start that fire,
   however, here are a few reminders from the
   Ohio Environmental Protection agency (EPA).  
   It is illegal to burn material in the following
   locations:

  • Within the boundaries of any municipal corporation
  • Within 1,000' of a municipal corporation with 1,000 to 10,000 residents
  • Within one mile of a municipal corporation with more than 10,000 residents; and

  • In unincorporated areas between 6 a.m. and 6 p.m. during March, April, May, October and
    November (an Ohio Department of Natural Resources requirement to prevent fall wildfires).
Brush, tree trimmings and leaves may be burned only on the property where they originated and
if the burn site meets the boundary requirements.  People responsible for the fire must ensure
that the fire is located at a point on the premises no less than 1,000' from any inhabited building
not located on the property.  Garbage (food waste), dead animals and materials containing
rubber, grease or petroleum (such as tires and plastics) cannot be burned anywhere.
