The wood used for the fire must not contain any environmentally harmful components. Suitable wood is natural; as a rule of thumb, only use wood that can be chopped and used for mulching or composting.
Impregnated, varnished, painted or coated wood as well as chipboard, blockboard, glued wood etc. are not suitable. Other waste such as bulky waste or hazardous waste must also not be allowed to enter the fire.

Fire residues should be spread over a large area on suitable surfaces. They should not be left collected at the site of the fire, as they impair soil fertility in excess. In case of doubt, they should be disposed of via the waste disposal system. In any case, ask the local authority about the relevant regulations.
