St. Joseph residents are reminded of the rules for burning yard waste within city limits during April and November. Fires are only allowed between 8 a.m. and 6 p.m. in a container no larger than 55 gallons, with restrictions on what can be burned. Safety measures, such as monitoring the fire and having firefighting materials on site, must be followed. Violators may face legal consequences, so residents are encouraged to explore alternative methods for yard waste disposal.
