The countywide burn ban has been lifted, however, keep in mind that outdoor burning is limited to NATURAL GROWTH. Open burning regulations are enforced by the Division for Air Quality. It is illegal to burn garbage or any other materials, except natural plant matter, such as brush and woody debris. Visit the Division for Air Quality Web site for more information.

You should also call Oldham County Central Dispatch at (502) 222-0111 before any type of outdoor burning.
