Can I burn leaves and/or trash in my yard?
Only with a city-issued burn permit is open burning of any trash, lumber, leaves, straw, or other combustible materiasl allowed, and it may only be done at a minimum distance of 250 feet from any road or street; 500 feet from any residence, office, or retail structure; and 25 feet from underdeveloped woods.

The use of above-ground or enclosed barbecue grills for outdoor domestic cooking does not require a burn permit.
