### **What Can I Put in the Garbage?**
If the object can be recycled or composted that is preferable to putting in the garbage which ends up in the landfill. If it cannot be recycled, it can go into a large garbage bag for collection. Tips:
* Place your garbage bag(s) at the curb by 8:00 a.m.
* Each bag should be tagged with a Huron-Kinloss bag tag/sticker.
* A bag should weigh no more than 18 kg (40 lbs.)
* Be mindful of sharp objects. No one wants to get hurt.
* There is no large item pick-up.

### **How Do I Pay?**
Huron-Kinloss has a "user-pay" system for garbage pick up as opposed to a taxation system. This allocates the cost of garbage collection to those who use it. Each bag must be tagged to be picked up. Huron-Kinloss bag tags are currently $3.00 each. Find retailers below.
