The answer is, “yes, you do!” You’re not permitted to burn trash and recyclables, but for items like large tree limbs, you’ll need a burning permit. The cost is $5 for 5 years. Complete the Burning Permit (PDF) and return to us by mail, or bring it to our office at 4100 Sardis Road, Murrysvile, Pa 15668. . By the way, open burning is permitted Tuesday through Saturday, 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. and we recommend standing by with the garden hose for safety purposes.
