CHRISTMAS LIGHT DISPLAY CONTEST

The Village of Carbon has challenged the Village of Linden to a Christmas Light Display contest.

Public Works will be decorating trees around the Village.

If anyone would like to donate any Christmas lights or large displays, it would be greatly appreciated.

We thank you in advance for any donations you drop off at the Village Office.

DISPOSAL WIPES

Please DO NOT flush any wipes of any kind. Wet wipes, baby wipes and personal wipes are all the same thing and can only be removed manually. These wipes create a blockage in our pumps that can only be

removed manually. While the pumps are down, Vac Trucks are hired to transfer the sewer.

This is costly and time consuming.

We very much appreciate your attention to this matter.

CARBON BOTTLE DEPOT

Hours of Operation: Wednesday, Friday & Saturday: 10am - 4pm

15 bag limit

Tis the Season - Yikes Already!

With the unfortunate snow fall season already upon us, please be sure to shovel your walks within 48 hours of a

snowfall and ensure that the snow is placed back on your property and not the road.

Thank you for your attention to this matter as we are sure that no one wants to bring their snow shovels

out of storage just yet.
