Burn Pit

The Burn Pit Facility is located next to the RV Storage Lot and Pasture Golf and Archery Range on Albino Road. It is open during summer months for the disposal of forest slash from community properties. The slash piles are burned under supervision of the Fire Department during winter months at a time deemed safe for a controlled burn.

The burn pit will be open for the 2025 season every Friday and Saturday from May 30th through August 30th from 8:30am – 2:30pm, provided enough volunteers are available to monitor the pit.  Without volunteers, we cannot open the pit.

The volunteer shifts are three hour shifts on Fridays and Saturdays, from 8:30am – 11:30am and 11:30am – 2:30pm.  We need two volunteers per shift.  Either Pat, Jackie or Jeanne will open the burn pit in the morning and close the pit in the afternoon and will give the volunteers instructions.

Please sign up using the following SignUpGenius link to volunteer as a burn pit monitor at the burn pit.  It’s a great way to meet your neighbors and to enjoy the great outdoors. https://www.signupgenius.com

When volunteering, please bring water and snacks, and protective clothing from the sun and wind.

Indian Mountain property owners will be able to get a Burn Pit Permit (not to be confused with the Burn Permit that is available from the Fire Department) at the Community Center office at 31 Keneu Ct., Wednesday through Saturday from 9am – 1pm.  A Burn Pit Permit Agreement is required to ensure an understanding of the facility rules. Please fill it out, print, and bring to the Community Center Office when applying for your permit. Blank agreement forms will also be available at the Community Center Office.

The Indian Mountain Metropolitan District Board will decide at the May 10th Board Meeting whether the surrounding neighborhoods will be able to use the burn pit and for how much.
