Town residents using burn barrels to dispose of household garbage are reminded that only the materials that are allowed to be open burned, i.e. leaves, plant clippings, paper & cardboard, are to be burned. Plastics, asphalt, rubber & other man-made materials generate hazardous air pollutants & should not be burned in a burn barrel. Residents doing so may be fined by the WDNR. An annual Burning Permit is required for burn barrel use.
