🔥 Is Burning Yard Waste Still Acceptable in 2026?

Burning yard waste might seem like a quick fix — but in 2026, Connecticut homeowners and property managers need to think twice before lighting that match.

In New Haven County and Fairfield County, open burning is tightly regulated. While some towns may allow limited burning of brush on residential properties, it’s never a blanket permission. You must secure a valid permit from your local Open Burning Official, and even then, only brush (not leaves, grass, or trash) may be burned.

Why the restrictions?

• 🔥 Smoke can drift across property lines, causing neighbor disputes
• 🌿 Burning can trigger fines if done without proper permits
• 🌎 It contributes to air pollution and fire hazards
