Stevens County, Washington
Can I burn garbage?
Garbage burning: prohibited
Washington Department of Ecology states that burning garbage or construction debris is illegal. Ecology's February 2026 outdoor-burning guide independently names Stevens County in its Eastern Region. This jurisdiction evidence and current material rule do not establish a current emergency-ban status.
This answer covers garbage at a confirmed non-tribal location only. It does not infer a paper-only rule, report the current fire-safety or air-quality ban stage, or grant permission for any other burning.
