If you are considering burning yard debris or other items, it is recommended that you first review the information provided by the township of Watersmeet: Burn Permits.

The state of Michigan does not require burn permits, however permission to burn is required via the Michigan Department of Natural Resources Permission to Burn map available on-line DNR Burn Permits Map (state.mi.us)

If Gogebic county is green on the map, then debris fires are allowed if proper precautions are taken.

Residents and homeowners can take their waste to the Watersmeet Transfer station. You can find out more about it on the Watersmeet Township Transfer Station webpage.
