Be a considerate neighbour this summer

If you are planning a bonfire make sure you’re a considerate neighbour when burning rubbish in your garden.

Every summer the Council’s Pollution Control team receive complaints about bonfires that cause home furnishings and laundry hung outdoors to smell of smoke. Bonfire smoke is also known to have a harmful effect on people with respiratory conditions. Instead of burning rubbish residents are urged to use their local recycling centre or sign up for the Council’s garden waste collection scheme. (see below)

The Council can take action against householders who regularly light bonfires and cause a smoke nuisance under the terms of Environmental Protection Act (1990). It also aims to enforce where there are significant pollution incidents - such as the burning of tyres or commercial waste.

Report a smoke nuisance: eastleigh.gov.uk/bonfires

If residents can provide video or photographic evidence this can be useful for our investigation team.
