Backyard burning alternatives
Backyard burning is only recommended for those without the ability to dispose of yard debris in another way.
While backyard burning is allowed on certain days, it negatively impacts air quality and can be harmful to sensitive populations, including children, the elderly and people with asthma.
The City's
yard debris collection program offers weekly pickup of leaves and branches four inches or less in diameter. Read more about the City's recycling resources for information on yard debris.
