Green waste ?

Burning tree prunings and other similar wastes is free during the winter months but not allowed during the months of increased fire risk (there are usually announcements, but better consult your nearest forestry authorities). You are not allowed to fell trees even if they are on your property without a permit from the Forestry Service. Fines are pretty high in cases of illegal actions.

@sylvie49 I would add that there are some winters where it has hardly rained and we are in April which is still winter formally but the land is dry and a dangerous situation could occur as a result of garden waste burning so ones discretion and forethought must be used even though its actually winter,is the land wet.has it rained recently must be in our minds before we pick up the lighter or the match.And now the fire service wants no garden waste burning in May.I have seen my husbands body clothes on fire from a spark from a welding machine,that spark could have been to the land and another "Mati"why not not leave garden waste to rot down naturally.
