Community Burn Piles
Guidelines for community burn piles
Thank you!

Community burn piles are located on
private property!  The Bickett and Leck
families graciously allow the
community to use their land to locate
the burn piles.

Please don't abuse this privilege.
Yard waste and other woody material may be taken to the burn
piles.  There are two community burn piles within Silver City.   
They are both located on the north side of the creek on Leck's
property and on Bickett's property.  

Members of the volunteer fire department burn the piles during
the winter months after there is sufficient snow cover on the
ground.  

If you wish to make use of the burn piles please follow these
guidelines:

  •  Piles are meant for wood, yard clippings, and other       
    biomasses.
  •  No stumps allowed.
  •  No construction materials allowed.
  •  Wood from buildings/decks is allowed as long as it is free
    of nails and other non-wood materials.
  • Place grass clippings/pine needles on top of the pile and not
    next to the pile.
  • No contaminants of any kind are allowed.
  • Cut long pieces into smaller ones before placing on pile.
  • Please close all gates after leaving.
  • No driving through the gates when ground is wet.
  • Be mindful of lawn.


Remember:  This is private property!
