Yard Waste-Open Burning Season

The yard waste open burning season runs from November 1 through March 1 each year and is regulated by certain daylight and weather condition restrictions.

The Fire Department may issue a "No Burn" order at any time during that period if they deem conditions hazardous. This law is found in Chapter 13 of the City Code. If you have more questions after reading the Code, call the Jefferson City Fire Department at (573) 634-6401. The burning of anything other than yard waste is prohibited.
