Garden bonfires

While garden bonfires are not prohibited in a smoke control area, action may be taken by us if bonfires are used on a regular basis to dispose of garden waste, and they are found to be causing a statutory nuisance.

You should take into account the effect that the smoke may have upon the general air quality, residents of neighbouring properties and also the effect that smoke may have particularly upon asthma sufferers.

There are several alternative options that are currently available to dispose of garden waste, such as the garden waste collection service.

You can also use the facilities that are provided by Household Waste Recycling Centres (tips)
