Burning Responsibly (tip sheet)

Description: 

Burning in a burn barrel, fire pit, fireplace or wood stove, emits a host of pollutants into our air. These pollutants don’t just contaminate our air; they also end up in our lakes—what goes up, must come down!

It is best to minimize how much and how often you burn, but most importantly, you need to be responsible about what you burn. Some items should never be burned because they burn poorly, creating more pollution.

You don’t have to give up your campfire or fireplace, but you should use and maintain them in ways that can cut pollution!
