I can't see why not. But maybe avoid really hot nights or during day when people have washing out.

I've had quite a few bonfires just like I usually would. Why would it be any different now?

I'd not and would look for alternatives, especially whilst people may still be trying to cool their homes down. Obviously the smoke could aggravate any respiratory factors that would have someone with greater problems potentially too.

If I could store, process for composting, or get removal to a composting, recycling or waste facilities, fully or partially, I would. Some garden waste is also great for wildlife. Are there places you could equipment to process some of the waste, such as for reductions to smaller particles? This will be good for wood chip mulches, for example, which improves soil health, ecology, helps with water retention and also breaks down releasing nutrients helping your plants grow. Smaller plant parts reduced in size compost much quicker too.

A guy that does ground work and lives on site with us was burning garden waste (not our waste but his normal jobs waste, doing his job and bringing it here) he kept it low etc but we got a complaint from the council over it, bonfires are banned round here due to covid.

We do do most of that all ready but some material dose have to go.

Have chipped about 8 tone and have 3 open compost heaps for wield life and 3 large compost bins to go back to the garden but some material will have to go to get it

Bonfires are a darn nuisance in the summer when you need to have your windows open or enjoy a drink in the garden.

We put garden rubbish in the brown bin or take it to the tip.

We have been having bonfires, well hubby has, only in the evening when there's no ones washing out etc or daytime when it's raining.

We have compost bins, a local council brown bin, wild areas of the garden but still have excess garden waste. No one has complained to us in fact several neighbours also have had bonfires too.

Many people have endless BBQs which we personally can't stand, they never check about washing, people sitting out etc. If one is banned then so should the other

Great efforts! Is there a collection option? We don't have it, except for larger interior items and I'm not sure if even that is active at present. If any might be good for firewood, some people might collect, from a freecycle type local site?

Because Covid is a respiratory illness and some people may be suffering more than normal.

Because the weather has been particularly hot and dry so could the fire to spread.

Because it’s been very hot recently and people like to keep their windows open abd don’t want their homes stinking.

I suppose it depends on how close you live to other people/properties. Our local authority have requested no bonfires for the time being.

Our garden waste gets collected weekly though and anything else we take to the tip.

And large skips are very pricey. I’ve bought cheaper cars

There was an article about a few “famous” people having bonfires and being told off from the Fire department early on in the lock down.

They said it was down to people with Covid having respiratory problems and smoke in the atmosphere would make it harder for them to breathe. Gemma Collins was one of the people I seem to remember

Some councils across the country have banned burning waste while in lockdown because of covid is a respiratory thing and could be made worse by fires.

Not stopped my neighbour burning rubbish on every single hot day we have, so annoying, can't sunbathe
