Bonfires

COVID-19 update – we’re urging people not to light bonfires during the pandemic. This is because breathing in smoke can impair a person’s oxygen intake and, with more people remaining at home, lighting a bonfire could cause someone to experience breathing problems.

Please consider doing one of these options instead:

• Home composting
• Use our garden waste collection service
• Use our bulky house waste collection service
• Bag it up and take it to your local waste recycling centre

Please do not:

• Burn damp material
• Burn rubbish, such as plastic, foam, paint or rubber
• Light the fire using engine oil, methylated spirits or petrol
• Light the fire in windy weather
• Leave it unattended, even if the fire is just smouldering
