Brochures
EPA has developed four brochures to discourage the practice of backyard burning. We have offered the full brochures in both Adobe PDF and ASCII text formats with the USEPA logos and return address. We are also making available some of the brochures for you to fill in via Adobe PDF fillable form format that includes writeable space to allow for state, local, or tribal regulations dealing with backyard burning, alternative disposal methods (e.g., days and times when trash can be picked up or deposited), and contact information.
