At The Rubbish Removers, we want everyone to have a fun and safe evening. That’s why we’re here to share some crucial tips on what you shouldn’t burn and the rules you need to keep in mind.
What You Should Never Burn on a Bonfire
It might seem easy to throw household rubbish or old furniture on the fire but burning the wrong materials can release toxic fumes and cause harm to people, pets and the environment.
Here are some items you should never burn:
Painted or treated wood – releases harmful chemicals
Plastic or rubber – creates toxic black smoke
Household waste or bin bags – often contain plastics and chemicals that are unsafe to burn
Foam-filled furniture or mattresses – produce dangerous fumes and are illegal to burn
Tyres or oils – extremely hazardous
Aerosols – can explode when exposed to heat
Following bonfire safety rules means avoiding these materials completely. It keeps your community safe and ensures you stay within environmental regulations.
Remember, Remember the 5th of November!
Follow your local bonfire safety guides
Before you light up that bonfire it’s a good idea to check in with your local council about any specific safety rules. In some places, bonfires might be completely banned, especially when it’s dry or windy. Plus, if you’re in a densely populated area, you’ll want to think about your neighbours. After all, too much smoke or strong odours could lead to complaints or even fines.
Keep It Clean and Legal
Whenever you can, stick to burning dry, untreated wood and garden waste. Ultimately these materials burn cleanly and safely, following the bonfire night rules. Also, it’s best to keep your fire small and easy to manage. Most importantly, always keep an eye on the fire until it’s completely out.
