Open Burning Notification

Open burning is the burning of any materials in which air contaminants are emitted directly into the air without first passing through a stack or chimney. The Missouri Department of Natural Resources does not issue permits for open burning. Prior to conducting any open burning, businesses and citizens should contact the city or county of jurisdiction for any local restrictions.

The department's Facts on Open Burning Under Missouri Regulations - PUB2047 fact sheet summarizes allowable and prohibited open burning under Missouri regulations. It does not include open burning restrictions that city or county governments may impose in addition to Missouri’s state regulations.

Scrap Tire Hauler Permit

If you or your business plans to transport scrap tires (tires that are no longer suitable for their original intended purpose because of wear, damage or defect) for profit within Missouri, you are required to obtain a Waste Tire Transporter License, also known as a Scrap Tire Hauler Permit. The Solid Waste Management Law requires certain scrap tire haulers to obtain a Waste Tire Hauler Permit. You are exempt from this requirement if your activity falls into one of the following categories, provided you do not create pollution, a public nuisance or a health hazard:

  • Do not haul for consideration (monetary or non-monetary compensation) or commercial profit
  • Hauling warranty tires or new defective tires to the retailer, wholesaler or manufacturer for adjustment credit or return
  • Hauling scrap tires that were generated at their own business or residence, provided that this transportation is done using their own employees and vehicles

If you do not meet any of the exemptions listed above, then you are required to obtain a Waste Tire Hauler Permit from the Missouri Department of Transportation (MoDOT). If you are unsure, please contact the Missouri Department of Natural Resources' Waste Management Program. For more information, please visit MoDOT's Waste Tire Transport webpage.
