Outdoor burning rules in Cherry Hill, NJ — also called the burn ban, open burning, or fire restriction ordinance — set when you can burn yard waste, debris, or run a recreational fire.
New Jersey's Air Pollution Control Act prohibits open burning of refuse, leaves, and most yard waste statewide, with narrow permitted categories overseen by NJDEP and the Forest Fire Service.
Under N.J.A.C. 7:27-2 and N.J.S.A. 26:2C-1 et seq., open burning of garbage, leaves, brush, and construction debris is prohibited throughout New Jersey. Limited exceptions exist for small recreational fires, prescribed burns by certified personnel, and agricultural burning with a permit from the New Jersey Forest Fire Service under N.J.S.A. 13:9-1. Municipalities may impose additional restrictions but cannot authorize burning that the state forbids.
NJDEP penalties begin at $500 per day and can reach $10,000 for repeat violations; criminal charges and Forest Fire Service citations may also apply for unpermitted brush burning.
