As seasonal yard clean-ups kick off, it’s important to note that burning yard waste is strictly against Strathroy-Caradoc By-laws. Residents are encouraged to dispose of leaves and yard waste for free at municipal transfer stations. Open air burns are allowed only in rural areas of the Municipality. While no permit is required, authorization from the Strathroy-Caradoc Fire Department dispatch centre is necessary beforehand. More information on transfer station schedules can be found at the municipality’s website.
