Official Town of Shirley SMART program trash bags will be required and are available in two sizes. Prices include the Smart program trash bag plus the disposal fee. Payments by check need to be made payable to Mansfield Paper.

13 gallon bags @ $7.50 for 10 bags

For those of you who have purchased stickers in advance or have stickers remaining, please continue using them with your own bags before purchasing the Smart program trash bags. Stickers can be applied to 33 gallon bags weighing no more than 40 lbs (approximately).
