Reminder: No burning of waste in Ogle County State law says you can’t burn trash, plastic or garbage
The Ogle County Solid Waste Management Department reminds Ogle County residents that the open burning of most types of waste is illegal throughout Illinois. The open burning of garbage, demolition debris, old buildings, furniture, mattresses, tires, plastic, and other forms of municipal waste continue to be problematic for residents and the OCSWMD each spring. Open burning of waste has
been prohibited since the 1970’s under the Illinois Environmental Protection Act and may be punishable through substantial fines. Burning of solid waste leads to a variety of problems for area residents, including air pollution from the smoke created, toxic burn piles after the fire, and the real possibility of the fire spreading beyond control. It can result in adverse impacts on your neighbors and your families’ health and safety, the local environment, and our local first responders. While the burning of landscape waste may be legal in parts of the
county at certain times, the OCSWMD encourages other methods of management.Landscape waste, such as leaves, grass clippings, and branches and twigs can be either composted in a compost pile or mulched up and land applied onto your lawn. In certain municipalities landscape waste is collected by waste haulers so it can be transported to a regional compost site to be recycled into fertile compost. Residents who choose to burn landscape waste may only do so in unrestricted areas, with materials generated on the property. If you
live in or near a municipality, check with their local open burning ordinances prior to any open burning. If you will be burning your landscape waste, the fire must not create nuisance air pollution for others, and may not obscure or interfere with modes of transportation, such as roads or rail lines. Be sure the fire does not smolder and create excess smoke, and that the fire cannot spread uncontrolled. The fire must be monitored at all times and a water source kept ready. If you have questions about proper disposal of waste, recycling, composting, or other waste management issues in Ogle County, please call the OCSWMD at 815-732-4020, visit oglecounty.org, or go to Ogle County Solid Waste on Facebook.
