Georgia Environmental Protection Division Announces Annual Ban on Open Burning
May 01 thru Sept 30, 2026
Beginning May 1, the Georgia Environmental Protection Division (EPD) open burning ban will be in effect for 54 Georgia counties. The ban, which has been in place every summer since 2005, affects many of the counties in north and central Georgia
EPD’s open burning ban helps protect air quality and human health during the summer, when the warm, sunny days create conditions for the formation of ozone. The burn ban prohibits citizens and businesses from burning yard and land-clearing debris during the summer ozone season, which runs from May 1 through September 30. This is in addition to the year-round, statewide prohibition against burning household garbage in Georgia.
Recreational activities such as campfires and grilling are exempt from the open burning ban.
