The village of Coal City has been asked to put an end to leaf burning, and the Village Board’s decision is likely to come within the month.
About a dozen area residents came to the Village Board last December to ask town officials to consider the health and safety of its residents by placing a ban on yard waste burning. In presenting its request the group noted leaf burning is banned in multiple municipalities because it leads to health problems, air pollution and is a fire hazard.
