Yes. This happens regularly in wooded areas, I did it growing up, as did my neighbors, and I do now (New Hampshire.) In fact, when there's no home depot, dump, or town pickup, what do you do?

I'm joyed when my neighbor does it, because we do it to keep dried leaves off each other's property precisely to prevent fires in summer and make the same job easier next year. I'd rather burn my leaves to save my house.
