McHenry County Burning Ordinance
At the County Board meeting on September 16, 2008 the health department gave a presentation on alternatives to leaf burning. I did not support the latest version of the Burning Ordinance. The health department has done a good job of finding alternatives, however, I believe that a lot of people in McHenry County will have a difficult time and added expense to take care of their leaves this fall. For information on composting, mulching and other alternatives, please visit the website for environmental health. Scroll down on the page until you find the link for open burning of landscape waste.
