The Ohio Environmental Protection Agency is cautioning about illegal burning that can pollute the air. Open burning is considered illegal in many cases. Additionally, burning garbage, buildings, rubber, grease, asphalt or any other petroleum product always is prohibited. The Ohio EPA can fine those who violate the rule up to $250 a day and up to $1,000 a day for burning on industrial, commercial, institutional or municipal properties.
