Given the rate of growth in the Town of Carleton Place, friendly reminders of the municipal bag tag policy are always reaching new ears.
Carleton Place allows one un-stickered bag of garbage each week. Additional bags must have a sticker. Stickers can be purchased individually for $3 each at the Town Hall and in bundles of five (5) or ten (10) at Shoppers Drug Mart on McNeely Avenue.
The week between Christmas and New Year’s Day, three (3) un-stickered bags are allowed.
Special case scenarios include large household items (for example a couch, chair, mattress, appliances, etc.). These must have FOUR (4) STICKERS securely attached and visible for collection.
Please call the Public Works office for additional information about disposing of items with refrigerant material.
Residents are also permitted one bag of construction debris; however, the bag cannot weigh more than 15kg.
Residents with larger quantities of construction debris should make their own outside alternative arrangements for disposal.
