I live in White Twp, which surrounds Indiana. They tried to get a burning ordinance recently. Everybody protested and it was dropped. Actually, I’m glad. Everybody around here has a firepit and we like to sit around the fire in the evenings. Our neighbor doesn’t burn all the time, thank goodness. We all burn garbage - just not the smelly kind. Now, Greg B lives in the Peoples Republic of Clymer, Pa. They have a no-burn ordinance.
There is no excuse for burning plastics.
Lived in Hillsdale, Michigan when I was younger. They had a no-burn ordinance, except for one particular Saturday each October which they designated as “Leaf Burning Day”. Nearly everybody in this town of 7000 rushed out to burn their stockpile of autumn leaves, resulting in a veritable black-and orange mushroom cloud that was visible from the Ohio Turnpike 25 miles away. It truly looked like the whole town was on fire.
