The Vershire Trash Bag Punch Card

The Town of Vershire has moved to a utilizing a Punch Card program for discarding solid waste.    A punch card is $20 per card and has 20 $1 dollar punches.  A small white kitchen garbage bag is 1 punch, a green size (30-33 gal size) is 3 punches and a contractor bag, 6 punches.  We still accept both stickers and green bags, if you have them.  Stickers are placed on trash bags that residents purchase elsewhere and are required on trash bags disposed of in the town’s packer truck.  Green bags are also still accepted but will no longer be sold to the public at large and eventually phased out.

One Regular Sized Trash Bag (Vershire green trash bag size) – 3 Punches

One Small Sized Kitchen Bag – 1 Punch

One Large Contractor size bag – 6 Punches

Trash Bag Stickers:
