I asked a landscaper taking down a neighbors tree, who took away several trailers full of debris, what he did with all the yard waste. He said he has a huge pit on his property where he discards everything. About once per week, when the pit gets full, he burns everything. Think about all the landscapers working throughout the villages every day trimming shrubs, trees, etc… That’s a lot of vegetation that goes up in smoke. Occasionally we get a very strong smell of thick smoke where we live, usually it starts a couple hours after dark. That corresponds to when the landscapers get home from work and empty their trailers of debris and have to burn to make room for the next day’s haul. There is no doubt the smoke we encounter is not from a neighbors small fire ring.
