What materials can I legally burn with an Open Burn Permit?

Linn County Code of Ordinances Section 10-63 (https://library.municode.com/ia/linn_county/codes/code_of_ordinances?nodeId=PTICOOR_CH10EN_ARTIIIAIQU_S10-63OPBU) itemizes the materials that may be burned legally and the limitations that surround how those materials may be burned. Most Open Burn Permits are issued for "Landscape Wastes," which include grass, leaves, weeds, trees, tree limbs, natural growth for land clearing, and agricultural wastes. Permits are also allowed for disaster rubbish, ceremonial burning, agricultural structures, training fires, and other approved reasons. All permit holders are expected to follow the limitations itemized in their permit and in accordance with the Linn County Code of Ordinances.
