Residents in Eugene, Springfield, Oakridge and their urban growth boundaries who qualify to burn have until 4 p.m. Friday, Oct. 31, to complete their fall yard debris burning. After the deadline, outdoor burning is prohibited for all residents in these areas until spring burning season opens for qualified residents in March. Violations for burning after the close of outdoor burning season can result in fines ranging from $50 to $2,500 or more.
Outdoor burning continues to be an option for the remainder of Lane County, but residents must check LRAPAโs daily outdoor burning advisory before lighting fires. Lane Regional Air Protection Agency encourages residents to consider alternatives to burning like mulching, composting or chipping yard debris. Lane Forest Products, Rexius and Lane County transfer stations accept yard debris year-round.
