What Can You Burn?

Arkansas State Air Pollution Control Regulations Section 18.6 (b) prohibits the open burning of waste materials. Specifically, it states that: "No person shall cause or permit the open burning of refuse, garbage, trade waste, or other waste material, or shall conduct a salvage operation by open burning." Household trash, construction and demolition waste (including lumber and/or wood) is considered a waste material and cannot be burned according to State Law.
