Burn Ban Options: How to Safely Get Rid of Junk
With the Texas burn ban in effect, how do you legally get rid of junk?
Need to get rid of an old mattress, sofa, or loveseat? But you don’t have the equipment to handle it and don’t want to see it illegally dumped.
Call All-In Hauling to discuss what burn ban options that are available. We can handle it for you quickly, safely, and legally.
Texas Counties Participating in the Burn Ban
Due to the severe drought throughout Texas, most counties have instituted a burn ban on outdoor burns. The ban limits bonfires, campfires, backyard fire pits, wood smokers, and anything that holds a flame outdoors.
Montgomery County’s Permanent Burn Restrictions
Montgomery County has special restrictions. In unincorporated areas of Montgomery County, it is a criminal offense to burn household refuse on a lot smaller than five acres or located in a “neighborhood.” Per Texas local government Code 352.082, this restriction also applies to planned communities. With the current burn ban in effect, local officials have kicked up their “Don’t Mess with Texas” a few notches.
Please do your part to keep everyone safe.
How Are BBQs Affected?
In Montgomery county, officials have extended the current burn ban to include wood and charcoal grills. The danger is wood and charcoal take a while to burn and have an open flame. However, you can use natural gas, propane, or an electric grill. Electric smokers are also acceptable.
