Chapleau's Bear Bins Return for Season

Chapleau's bear bins are back.

The Township's reminding residents the bear proof containers are only meant for household waste in "normal size" refuse bags and no refuse can be left outside the container.

Small white bags, animal excrement, cardboard, grass clippings, building products, wood, metal, paint, automotive batteries, fireplace ashes, fluorescent bulbs, and broken glass are all prohibited while medical appliances must be in an appropriate "puncture proof" container.

The containers will be unlocked from 9 am Monday to 2:30 pm Friday (also closed during holidays), though curbside pickup's continuing otherwise.
