Burning Ordinance Information
[top]
|
Burning is prohibited within 75' of
any building or structure and/or 50' of any property line. |
|
Our hauler picks up 99% of all
household waste, recycling and leaf and yard waste. Therefore, there
is no need to burn anything. It is illegal by Pennsylvania Law (Act
101) and Millcreek Ordinance (97-2, 2000-1 & 2001-14) to burn anything that
must be recycled or composted. This includes all: cans, bottles
and glass, newspapers and magazines, corrugated cardboard, mixed paper and mixed
cardboard, garbage and food waste. Leaves and yard waste (includes leaves, garden
residue, shrubbery, tree trimmings and similar materials, but not grass
clippings). If you cannot leave the grass clippings on the lawn then
you must bag this material as trash. Burning takes money away from the township in the form of
grants that are based on the tonnage of recycling collected. Please
don't burn, instead, please RECYCLE, or COMPOST. |
|
Any person violating the above
ordinances shall pay the fines prescribed for such violations. The
following fines are prescribed: First violation - $100; second &
subsequent - $300. |
