The roadway will be open to the church and local residents only.

CHANGES TO OPEN BURNING REGULATIONS
Open burning is a hot topic (no pun intended) from early spring to late fall. The calls we receive run the gamut – from citizens wanting to burn garden and yard waste to citizens concerned about air quality and fire hazards. In response to these wide-ranging inquires and complaints, the Supervisors and Environmental Advisory Council commenced a review of the Township’s open burning regulations in early 2020. On August 10, this process culminated with the adoption of new open burning regulations via Ordinance 03-2021. If you have questions about open burning, contact the Township Fire Marshal, Rich Hicks, at (610) 436-5108 x104 or rhicks@eastbradford.org.
