Open Burning – Nuisance Fires in Unincorporated Areas

Along with fall comes leaf raking and sometimes leaf burning. Residents in the unincorporated areas of Troy Township must follow Will County’s Nuisance Ordinance which restricts open burning. Both the Will County Sheriff’s Office and the Will County Land Use Department have the authority to enforce the ordinance. Specifics about what is allowed for open burning can be found below or by calling the Will County Land Use Department, Resource Recovery and Energy Division at 815-727-8834. Residents who are in an incorporated area should check with their specific municipality for their open burning ordinances.
