Controlled Burning

The Waste Management (Prohibition of Waste Disposal by Burning) Regulations 2009 makes it an offence to dispose of waste by burning. In early 2023, the Department of the Environment, Climate and Communications announced that the practice of burning agricultural green waste will no longer be permitted after the 30th of November 2023. Farmers must consider alternative sustainable management practices for agricultural green waste after this date.
