DAVIDSON—Last Tuesday Davidson town council passed a bylaw prohibiting the burning of garbage in town.
Bylaw 784 regulates the burning of refuse within town limits.
It prohibits people and businesses from burning trash, refuse, garbage, industrial waste, paper products, wood, yard waste or any other type of waste in an open fire or incinerator in a manner that causes air pollution.
The bylaw contains a few exclusions that will still allow certain types of fires. Campfires or fires in outdoor fire pits are excluded from the bylaw as are cook fires fueled by charcoal or processed coal. Fires for the purpose of prevention or control of fires or for firefighting training purposes, provided they are authorized by the municipality, are also excluded from Bylaw 784.
