Can I burn garbage?

Garbage burning: prohibited

Wahkiakum County's official Burn Permits page states that burning garbage has been illegal in Washington since 1967.

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.
