The Town of Carleton Place is heralding the opening of the Compost Yard at 1 Bates Drive.
The new location will be open each Wednesday from 3-8PM until the end of August as well as Saturdays, from 8AM to 1PM until early November.
As the location is new, here’s how to get there: Follow Townline Road to Industrial Avenue; take Industrial to Smythe Road, and proceed along Smythe to Bates Drive- then turn left; the Compost Yard is at the end of the street.
You’ll need to have fished your ID out of your back pocket beforehand, as residents must show proof.
Note that the Household Hazardous Waste Depot will open Saturday, May 17th (8AM to Noon), and is located at 128 Patterson Crescent.
