Burning leaves and branches in gardens can lead to fines of up to 45,000 lei. Instead of burning, homeowners can repurpose these plant residues into beneficial resources for their gardens. Burning not only poses legal consequences but also harms air quality and health. Alternatives include using dried leaves as mulch to protect soil and reduce weed growth, or composting them with green waste for nutrient-rich soil. Thin branches can be shredded for mulch or compost, while thicker ones should be disposed of through local waste services. Proper management of garden waste keeps the yard tidy and avoids reliance on burning.
