Neighbour nuisance

There are no laws banning people from burning garden waste on their own land at any time. However, instead of a bonfire, you could:

• compost your garden waste
• take your garden waste to the Caister Recycling Centre
• sign up to the Council's Garden Waste Collection Service

For more information, please see the Council's Guidance on Bonfires (PDF) [120KB] (opens new window) .

If a neighbour has regular bonfires and you think they could qualify as a statutory nuisance, you should contact us and tell us about them.
