The Free Press would like to correct information included in a story that ran on page 3 of the July 2 edition. The story, with the headline “County increases price for garbage bag tags, revenue to reach $150,000,” incorrectly stated that garbage bags placed at the curb could be black bags. Dufferin County’s clear garbage bag program, implemented in 2013, requires all garbage to be placed in clear garbage bags. Black garbage bags are not permitted.
