Sheffield City Council's official position is that a person can have as many fires as they like in their own garden but if it is near enough to a fence or a building to cause damage then you are to contact the fire brigade. 😡 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not, but the council won't act on it. A friend has neighbours who actually go looking for old matresses and mdf furniture to burn on summer afternoons when they are having a drink and a smoke and the Antisocial Behaviour Unit told her there is nothing they can do about it but to call the fire bobbies if the fire was too big.

Eric_Collins Posted January 14, 2019 Share Posted January 14, 2019 I can add to this as this issue has happened to me. The blue boxes were good and you could fill with cardboard and ask for another and they would give you one , you could even stack cardboard neatly and they would take it. Now since we got a blue bin that is far smaller in size than the old blue boxes we can't get as much in. You put the extra cardboard out as before all stacked nice and neat and they now won't take it.. What options are you then left with ??? I now have to burn the excess card that won't be collected by the council. I did leave it for ages in the old blue boxes and put bits in as and when I could but this started to attract vermin living in the boxes. I have no other choice than to burn what they won't take and I can't store because of the rats. Its burnt in a steel bin and controlled which happens 2 times a week , when we had the blue boxes we didn't burn not a once. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
