To think it's autumnal enough to have a bonfire?

[089ville]

Lots of garden waste to get rid of. There was several wood burners I could smell burning this morning and it's down to 10-11 for the next few nights.

Would you think that's fine for a bonfire? I've covered what I want to burn and the rest of the ground should be wetish so good time to have a fire safely, no?

Bonfires are never ok. They are a fire risk at worse, anti-social at best.

Please take the stuff to your tip.

Take it to the tip.

It's August. It's not autumnal until autumn.
Take your rubbish to the tip like every other normal non antisocial person.

I’ve got a massive pile of stuff to burn but it’s not really autumnal enough yet - I’m trying to save mine till Nov 5th so I don’t piss off my neighbours too much.

Go for it we’ve been burning stuff for the past 10 days but we are rural and not near enough to anyone to piss them off

It is never OK to have a bonfire, it adds to pollution and is disgusting. If the stuff you burn is wet it will smell even worse.

Take it to the dump or use a council bin for collection so it can be used for compost. Or offer it to a gardener for compost. Or, a novel idea, make a compost heap and use it yourself/sell it when it is ready, gardeners like good compost.

We have 3 compost bins and a home made pile that’s huge We also pay for 2 green waste bins to be collected by the council every fortnight. Some things - tree limbs etc won’t be collected by the council. They won’t take anything wider than your wrist and no bindweed. I’m not putting bindweed in my compost so It gets incinerated- it’s only what happens with most of the green waste collected here and as I said there’s not one person apart from us around to be bothered by it

Na, take it to the dump. Be a responsible human on this Earth you live on. Every little change can make a difference.

I've said I've covered it up and it's not wet.

You do know we can have autumnal weather in August

Oh god, if you have neighbours then please don’t. My NDN have one every 2-3 days and it drives me NUTS. Even if it was once a blue moon it would drive me nuts - especially because it makes my clean washing smell, makes the whole street smell, is polluting and gross and just no!

Idiots have bonfires nowadays.

Anti social, very bad for the environment and you... my Grandads cancer was, according to medical opinion, caused by burning garden waste & breathing in the smoke.

Autumn is probably the worst time to have a bonfire, animals will be looking to bed down for the winter.

I guess all the people saying it's polluting don't drive a car or fly on a plane?

It gets on clothes and causes breathing difficulties for my partner when someone burns outside.

FWIW our local tips burns a fair chunk of the waste!

Yeah go on, have a bonfire like all the other antisocial pricks who don’t give a shit about their neighbours.

Should be illegal imo.

Come to Northern Ireland. We all love the bonys .
