What is the law for burning trash on your property on the Big Island?
It's illegal now, and good thing too, because burning plastics are toxic and any kind of smoke is bad for people with asthma or respiratory issues.
I wake up every couple weeks with my house full of friggin smoke because my neighbors burn, even though they shouldn't, and the wind carries it right over, and it draughts in my windows, and it sucks ... and I have an asthma attack. So please do not burn ...
imu's are still allowed.
Trash burns are illegal because of the potential for the fire to get out of control, or so I was told by the fire department.
