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.
