Polk County and Jasper County are both counties that Mitchellville is a part of. Both are currently under a burn ban. Please check their website daily to see if the burn ban has been lifted or is still in place before you do any burning.
Can I use a burn pit or burn trash when there is a burn ban in my county?
A burn ban does not prohibit the following: supervised, controlled burn for which a permit has been issued by the fire chief of the fire district where the burn will take place, the use of outdoor fireplaces, barbecue grills, properly supervised landfills, or the burning of trash in incinerators or trash burners made of metal, concrete, masonry, or heavy one-inch wire mesh, with no openings greater than one square inch.
