BURN PILE REGULATIONS

SIZE REGULATIONS: "RULE OF 4"

NO WOOD OR BRUSH OVER 4' LENGTH
NO WOOD OR BRUSH OVER 4" DIAMETER

Only CLEAN WOOD and brush will be accepted for open burning on acceptable days.
No wood or brush accepted after 2:00 PM. Ever.

Fire must burn out by 6:00 PM to comply with state law on unattended fires.

Stumps up to 6" in diameter are accepted in Burn Pile.
Everything must be split or worked to size regulations.

Large commercial loads must be scheduled in advance and be in before noon. Any necessary heavy equipment or materials will be supplied by the owner/contractor.

The Transfer Station needs a fire permit every day. Permitting is weather dependent. Dryness or winds make for "No burn" conditions. If the Transfer Station is not issued a permit, it can't accept, stockpile, or accumulate burnables. The Town of Rangeley is liable for suppression costs if any fire spreads from the Transfer Station. No forest fire is cheap. Help us burn safely by working with us.

If you plan on bringing burnables to the facility, call ahead after 8:30 AM.
The number is 864-5610. Thank you.

State Law prohibits burning UNCLEAN WOOD and all law enforcement agencies must enforce them. Licensed facilities will only receive relicensing conditional to enforcement.

UNCLEAN WOOD (pressure treated, particle boards, plywood, painted, stained, shellacked, or other treated wood and timbers, etc.) will be deposited in the Oversized Bulky Waste (OBW) bin.

The charge therefore is $10 per cubic yard. Please obtain your voucher in advance from the Town Office or bring your check book with your load to the Transfer Station. NO loads can be billed out or accepted without payment.

Contractors: Price your remodeling jobs accordingly.
