Carroll Township

There will be no delay in trash service due to the Thanksgiving Holiday. Trash and Recycling will be picked up on Wednesday, November 24th.

PA Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) has released a simple guide to help residents and businesses understand recycling in Pennsylvania. The booklet helps Pennsylvanians to recycle correctly by finding recycling programs in their local area, learning their local rules, and following them to maximize the social, environmental and economic benefits of recycling. The booklet is available to download at dep.pa.gov/recycling

Fall leaf pick-up will start October 25th through December 7th. Leaves will be collected weekly along Township and State roads. Rake leaves to the curb or edge of road by Monday, 7:00AM for pick-up that week.

Leaves must be placed along the edge of the roadway for collection equipment to reach them. Bagged leaves will not be collected. As a reminder, the Township will not pick-up leaves if piles are located too far off the edge of the roadway or if brush or trash is in the pile.

The Amended Carroll Township Zoning Ordinance and Map were adopted September 13, 2021. The adopted Map is on our website and the amendments to the Zoning Ordinance have been integrated into the Township Code.

Residents file damage reports to possibly get financial help from FEMA.

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.
