The City of Milton-Freewater has lifted the burn ban within city limits. Effective October 10, 2023 . Open burning of yard debris will be allowed on designated burn days.

- Build the burn pile in a safe location - someplace where the flames won't damage adjacent vegetation or structures.

- If you have more than 1 cubic yard of material to burn, separate it into smaller piles.
- Burn only woody debris, and not garbage or other material.
