They just completely banned all burning in our township earlier this month. Permanently. Not just leaves but even brush and tree trimmings. They claim the state DEP is forcing it everywhere in the state but, when contacted about it, the DEP says they're only concerned about burning leaves. Everyone is up in arms about it but the twp commissioners voted unanimously. The only exceptions are for religious ceremonies and those patio fire rings. Funny thing is even those have to be at least 50ft. from any structures. You would have to have a pretty big patio.
Now we've had yesterday's snowstorm that caused more tree damage than I've ever seen due to the heavy wet snow and most of the trees still having their leaves. There's massive tree damage everywhere and there's nothing we can do with all the limbs because we can't burn them..... |

| That is great! The parish (county) does not want the leaves to end up in the landfill, the insurance company doesn't want them left on the ground and most yards don't have enough space to compost that amount of leaves. |

I was thinking of this tonite when I took a drive. I live a mile or so outside of a large (15000 acres?) State Game Area, and have a number of hunting spots I peek in on when I cant make it out for a hunt.
Driving the gravel backroads and twotracks, there is pickup load sized piles of leaves everywhere. Some left right in the road (in younger times, they were a ball to smash with an Oldsmobile). I figure, thats the game plan each fall for lots of folks.
Where I work in the city, everyone must bag them in city labeled paper bags for pickup. |
