Domestic bonfires
If regular bonfires are causing an issue, you can use the link above to report it online.
There are no laws against having a bonfire, but there are laws for the nuisance they can cause - follow the link for further guidance on garden bonfires.
In Portsmouth, we advise disposing of waste in other ways, such as composting or using our garden waste service, or taking waste to Portsmouth Recycling Centre.
