It is hereby declared to be a matter of public health and safety to regulate the disposal of waste by open burning in the township. It is further declared that the dangers of open fires, the air pollution from fires, and the management of waste removal and disposal necessitate regulation to protect the peace, good order and welfare of the township and the health and safety of its citizens. Although inspections may be conducted of the materials to be burned and the burn site, open burning is performed at the person’s own risk and it is the property owner’s responsibility to ensure that the burning is performed in a safe manner.
