By ordinance, the city has identified three periods a year for burning yard waste. Those periods are between April 1 and April 14, July 17 and July 31, and October 24 and November 6, from dawn until dusk or as modified or extended by the city council based primarily on weather conditions.

Materials permitted to be burned include leaves, small twigs and grass clippings.
