Lubin residents report smoke from garden allotments
Residents in parts of Lubin, specifically near Staszica and Mickiewicza streets, have reported issues with pungent smoke during the autumn season. The smoke, which often intensifies in the evenings, is believed to originate from the burning of leaves and branches at nearby garden allotments.
Local residents have expressed frustration, noting that the smell makes it difficult to ventilate homes or enjoy outdoor walks. Under current waste management laws, burning plant waste outside of designated facilities is prohibited. Legal alternatives include composting or using municipal bio-waste collection systems. Violators of these regulations face potential legal consequences, including fines or arrest.
