Garden bonfires aren’t technically illegal. But it is not legal to burn rubbish in your garden if your neighbours get disturbed by the fire or smoke. You might get fined if any of your neighbours complain to the authority.<\/p>\n
Law for burning rubbish in the garden<\/h3>\n
According to GOV.UK<\/a>, \u201cYou cannot get rid of household waste if it will cause pollution or harm people\u2019s health. This includes burning it. You can get rid of household or garden waste by composting or recycling it. Contact your local council to find out how to dispose of garden waste and recycling in your area.\u201d<\/p>\nNo laws are preventing you from having a bonfire, as long as it does not cause a statutory nuisance to other people. For example, under the Environmental Protection Act 1990, a bonfire could be causing a statutory nuisance if it occurs regularly and prevents someone from enjoying their garden or opening windows.<\/p>\n
To classify as a statutory nuisance, smoke must do one of the following:<\/p>\n
\n- Interfering unreasonably and significantly with the use or enjoyment of a home or other properties<\/li>\n
- Injuring or being likely to impair health<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
If your neighbor’s campfire is causing a problem, authorities may issue an ‘abatement notice.’ Your neighbor may face penalties if they do not comply with the rules of the abatement notice.<\/p>\n
Can You Burn Garden Waste?<\/h3>\n
Grass, hedge and shrub cuttings, leaves and weeds, small branches, twigs, sticks, fallen fruit, plants and flowers- are considered garden waste. And you can set a bonfire to burn your garden waste. You should not burn the garden waste if they are still fresh or green, as they create more smoke. You can burn them once they dry out.<\/p>\n\n\nFire Safety Awareness Training<\/span><\/h4>\nFire safety awareness course is accredited by the CPD UK CPD is globally recognised by employers, professional organisations and academic intuitions<\/p>\n

Setting a bonfire may be tempting, but you must follow some safety precautions before you do so. If a bonfire in a garden gets out of hand, it poses a considerable risk to residents. These are rules you should follow while burning rubbish-<\/p>\n
\n- Build your bonfire far away from any structures, garden sheds, fences, or hedges.<\/li>\n
- Never start a fire with flammable material, and never burn hazardous goods like aerosol cans, paint tins, foam furniture, or batteries.<\/li>\n
- Leave no unattended bonfires. An adult should supervise it until it has completely burned out. If it must be left, thoroughly wet it with plenty of water.<\/li>\n
- Check the weather forecast before starting a bonfire if there is a chance of heavy winds.<\/li>\n
- Keep in mind that there are no cables, electrical, or phone lines near or above the campfire.<\/li>\n
- Pets and children should be kept away from the fire.<\/li>\n
- In case of an emergency, keep a bucket of water or a hosepipe nearby or call 999 if the fire gets out of control.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
Should I Notify Anyone About My Bonfire?<\/h3>\n
There is no legal requirement to inform anyone before starting a bonfire. But you should notify your neighbours ahead of time to ensure that your campfire does not conflict with their plans (drying laundry, garden parties, and general use of their garden).<\/p>\n \n \n Top Courses of this Category<\/h4>\n\n \n \n \n ![\"Fire](\"https:\/\/studyplex.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Fire-Safety-Awareness-Training-1.webp\")
