Burn Days
Burn days are designated days when township residents are permitted to conduct open burning of yard waste or other approved materials. These days are established to ensure that burning activities are managed safely and do not pose a risk to public health or the environment.
Typically, burn days are scheduled based on weather conditions, air quality, and local regulations. By adhering to these designated days, residents help minimize air pollution and reduce the likelihood of uncontrolled fires. The township may provide guidelines on what can and cannot be burned, as well as safety practices to follow during burning.
To ensure compliance, residents should check local announcements or the township's website for the specific burn day schedule and any restrictions. Following these guidelines helps maintain community safety, protects air quality, and ensures that open burning is conducted in an orderly and responsible manner.

Visible House Numbers
Township ordinances require that house numbers be displayed on houses. Numbers must be reflective, at least four inches high, of a contrasting color and visible from the street. We ask residents to check and make sure the numbers may be seen from the street. Apartment owners are asked to have numbers on each unit’s door.
Visible numbers are vital when there is an emergency call for fire, police or the ambulance service. Trying to find the right house can cause a delay in providing emergency services.
