How is trash collected in the Borough?
The Borough of Carlisle uses a pay-as-you-throw system in which solid waste is collected by a contracted service. Residents are required to dispose of trash only in green “Borough Bags” which may be purchased at Borough Hall, 53 W. South Street, as well as a number of department, convenience and grocery stores throughout the Borough. The cost of a Borough Bag is $3.80. Included in this cost is a free recycling service (residents are required to make a one-time purchase of a recycling container for $7.50).
