COLUMBUS, Ohio — Ohio’s burn ban continues through the month of May. Here’s what you need to know.
In Ohio, it is illegal to burn items outdoors during March, April, May, October, and November, between the hours of 6 a.m. through 6 p.m.
The Ohio Division of Forestry prohibits burning yard waste, trash, and debris, even when contained within a burn barrel.
Wildfire dangers increase during the spring months as new plant growth has yet to begin. Warmer temperatures and windy weather during the spring also increase the risk of fires.
