Do not allow your bonfire to smoulder for long periods of time, especially overnight.The household recycling centre in Swindon Road, Cheltenham (Image: Cheltenham Borough Council)Ĭouncillor Steve Jordan (LD, All Saints), the leader of the borough council, said today: “Following the results of our public consultation in 2019 and overwhelming public support for the residual waste and garden waste skips at the Swindon Road household recycling centre, there are no plans to remove these skips at present.Only light a bonfire if the wind is blowing away from your neighbours Do not light a bonfire if the wind is blowing in the direction of your nearest neighbour.Do not light a bonfire when neighbours have hung their washing out or are enjoying their gardens.Do not burn oily rags, rubber, plastics, foam, car tyres and so on as these will give rise to black toxic smoke.Do not burn damp grass cuttings or other damp garden waste as this will produce thick smoke.Do only have bonfires as a last resort after recycling and re-using have been considered.Do consider shredding instead of burning as a suitable safeguard against identity fraud.Do use alternative methods: recycle items, use the local household waste recycling centres.Therefore it's important to communicate with your neighbours Although you may only have one a month, if each resident did this it could result in a bonfire nearly every day which could be unreasonable. Do be aware that other residents may also have regular bonfires.Do choose the location of your bonfire carefully and have a spade, fork or hose pipe ready in case you need to extinguish the bonfire quickly.Do consider using an incinerator rather than an open bonfire.Do let your nearest neighbours know before you light your bonfire.
