BURNING HOUSEHOLD RUBBISH AND YARD WASTE
The Town of Sumner Follows the State Statutes and Administrative Codes
Furthermore, the DNR rule sets the minimum requirements
https://dnr.wisconsin.gov/topic/OpenBurning/Summary.html
Ordinance Burning household rubbish and yard waste is allowed when both of the following are met:
-
The rubbish and yard waste was created by normal household activities; and
-
The rubbish and yard waste are burned on the individual household's property (not transported to another property and burned).
Demolition and in-home business operations, including farm and landscaping operations, are not considered normal household activities.
Keep in mind that breathing the smoke from debris burning is not healthy for you or your neighbors. Burning rubbish and yard waste is discouraged because of the air pollution it causes and because of the benefits of alternative disposal options. When burning approved materials, follow DNR's safety tips to reduce the risk of wildfire.
Notification of Controlled Burns
To prevent unnecessary emergency responses, the Town of Sumner recommends notifying local fire authorities before conducting any controlled burn. This helps reduce confusion and prevents passersby from reporting accidental fires.
