Carroll Township

Due to staffing issues caused by COVID, Penn Waste had to cancel the recycling route today (1/12/2022). All recyclable material will be collected on your next collection day. Trash routes will still run as it poses more of a public health issue. Penn Waste apologizes for any inconvenience this may cause you. All of the recycling will be cleaned up next week.

Due to the inclement weather last week, Christmas Tree pick-up has been pushed back one week to Saturday, January 15th. Sorry for any inconvenience.

Information

To be transparent, the Carroll Township Police Department has equipped in every patrol car in its fleet an In-Car Camera system and a portable microphone which allows the department to document incidents with audio/video recordings.  The Police Department will soon be expanding this program to include Body Worn Cameras for all its officers.  The combination of the In Car Cameras and Body Worn Cameras will allow the police department to more accurately document events, actions, conditions and statements made during incidents; enhance an officers ability to prepare and present court testimony; improve the training and supervision capabilities of the department and will assist in maintaining officer accountability.  The Department has applied for two grants which will cover most of the cost of the Body Worn Cameras.  The Department anticipates having the Body Worn Cameras in service in the foreseen future.

In Pennsylvania you now have two options for mail ballots. You may choose a mail-in ballot or an absentee ballot.

Absentee ballot – If you plan to be out of the municipality on election day or if you have a disability or illness, you should request this ballot type, which still requires you to list a reason for your ballot.

Mail-in ballot – If you aren’t an absentee voter, you may apply for a mail-in ballot – You may simply request this ballot without a reason.
