Ohio Revised Code allows minimal situations where open
burning is legal. The burning of building materials, furnishings,
garbage, plastics, or food containers are just a few of a large
list of items that are never legal to burn. The burning of any
of these items is also illegal if burned in barrels, fireplaces, or
outdoor boilers. In response to an increase in residents who are
burning on their property, the fire department will begin greater
enforcement of the open burning laws. Open burning violations
