2A | WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 2, 2019 | COTTAGE GROVE SENTINEL On The Record Outdoor burning season now open in Lane County DEATH NOTICES The fall outdoor burning season officially opened Tuesday for many Lane County residents. Fall out- door burning seasons close at the end of the month for many areas inside Lane County. Daily home wood-heat- ing advisories also began Oct. 1 for residents of Eugene, Springfield and Oakridge until the end of May. The outdoor burning season has been delayed in the past due to dry weather and fire danger. This year, weather conditions permit the season to start on time. Outdoor burning, also known as open or backyard burning, allows some Lane County residents to burn only dry woody yard debris that was generated on their own residential property Rules concerning out- door burning differ throughout the county. Burn barrels are prohibited countywide. Before starting your outdoor burn, all resi- dents must check the daily burning advisory, which indicates to the community if burning is prohibited on a given day. The advisory also tells residents when all fires must be extinguished by. The daily burning advi- sory can be found by calling Lane Regional Air Protec- tion Agency’s advisory line at 541-726-3976 or by visit- ing www.lrapa.org. Although burning is an option for some Lane County residents, LRAPA encourages exploring al- ternatives to burning. Resi- dents can dispose of woody yard debris for a mini- mal charge at one of Lane County’s various collec- tion depots or with Rexius and Lane Forest Products. Chipping and composting are also alternative options to burning.
