We moved in to our house a couple years ago and were not told too much about a pipe that sticks out of our backyard.
We are on a septic system and this pipe is sticking out from our leech field. The other houses on our block all have similar setups yet none (that I know) have a pipe coming up like ours.
It was suggested to me that this may be safe to remove, or at least remove, cover the whole for a few weeks, and as long as there’s no issues, then remove.
It’s not attached to anything and I can pretty easily pull it out and put it back in, although I’ve tended not to touch it much.

Can anyone provide any insight here please?
I’d take a trip to the local septic permitting agency and see if I could get copies of the permit and approved septic system design/as-built site plans. The inspector will probably be able to tell you if you need it or not.
It might be a vent for the leach field although that’s not common where I’m from. I guess it could also be a marker for a distribution box or some other system component.
Just rejoice in your free pre-installed bird-feeder holder!

Back in to what? Does it attach to something or did you literally just pull it out of the ground?
You pulled it out? You are now the King of England!
technically it’s your lawn, you can do whatever you’d like to it.
the real question is should you
