You can burn in the city limits of Carlton, but it has to be an approved burn day for the material wanting to be burned.  To find out, you will need to call the Backyard Burn Hotline at 503-472-3344.

The Carlton Fire District has a Facebook page and a phone number to contact them.  You can send them a message via Facebook or give them a call at 503-852-6233.

Wild animals such as skunks and raccoons, can be trapped and removed from your property.  City Ordinance does not allow the discharging of a firearm within City limits (9.02.006) or poisoning of animals where domesticated animals could come into contact with the poison (9.02.038).  It is also against City code to leave an animal, wild or domesticated to be subject to animal cruelty i.e. starvation (9.02.039).  

To avoid animals from visiting your property, follow these simple guidelines:

• Secure your garbage
• Feed pets indoors or remove uneaten pet food after meals
• Never feed wildlife
• Keep bird feeders out of reach of wild animals
• Cut back vegetation where animals could hide, sleep or live
• Clean up your yard
• Enclose or eliminate compost piles
• Screen vents on house
• Avoid over watering your lawn
