Cleaning Up The Yard? Know Florida’s Debris Burning Regulations
April 25, 2020
Officials with the Florida Forest Service’s Blackwater Forestry Center are reminding residents to make sure they meet the legal requirements before burning debris from this week’s storms or just cleaning up the yard.
There are no burn bans in effect in our area but residents must still follow certain requirements: Burning piles of yard debris less than 8 feet in diameter is allowed if it is 25 feet from and wooded area or combustible structure, 25 feet from your house, 50 feet from a paved public road and 150 feet from other occupied dwellings.
Piles greater than eight feet require a burn authorization from the Florida Forest Service and must meet more stringent standards. For more information about authorizations, call Blackwater Forestry Center headquarters at (850) 957-5701.

Burn Barrels… Walmart, ACE hardware, Home Depot. Google it.
Does anyone know where you can get a burn barrel from?! I have been searching and can’t seem to find one. Any info would be greatly appreciated.
Florida’s debris burning regulations are just like the speed limit, most violated rule there is!
