  • Cooking fires, charcoal grills and the intended use of portable outdoor fireplaces do not require a permit.
  • Most any other open burning does require a permit issued by the City of Waynesboro Fire Department.
  • The burning of leaves, yard waste, construction debris and domestic refuse is not permitted within the City of Waynesboro at any time.
