Smoke from bonfires pollutes the air that we breathe – so this year why not simply compost instead? It’s easy, great for your garden, better for the environment & wonderful for wildlife!
If you must have a fire, whether it’s outside or inside your home, only ­use safe, ‘ready-to-burn’ fuels, dry, natural wood & organic garden waste.

Never burn household waste, plastics or painted & treated woods such as decking, fence panels, old sheds, manufactured boards and even some pallets as they contain dangerous chemicals which would be released into the air & soil. These materials should be taken to a recycling centre instead.
So let’s all do our bit to keep our soil safe, welcome wildlife & protect the air that we all share!
