An updated policy first went into effect the first week of April of
2021. This policy was revised in light of changing resources and a renewed
focus on infrastructure projects critical to the Village. It applies
to Village of Clinton residents only. Those outside the Village, in
the Town of Kirkland, have to hire their own garbage hauler (https://www.ohswa.org/find-a-hauler/hauler-search/?ZIPCODE=13323); but also see the middle section of this page.
Please see the policy in its entirety below in the Documents section. This policy includes a statement
of purpose, definitions, specific details to each type of pick up, and a
schedule.
Household Garbage and Recyclables will be picked up every TUESDAY (very early morning) in the RESIDENTIAL AREA and every TUESDAY and FRIDAY (very early morning) in the COMMERCIAL DISTRICT (garbage
& recyclables on Tuesday, garbage only on
Fridays).
Large Items and Debris will be picked up once a month, on the LAST WEDNESDAY of the month, from APRIL through NOVEMBER. Due to
snow removal, these items will no longer be picked up in January, February,
March and December. The Department of Public Works or the Garbage
Contractor will not pick up trash debris generated by contractors performing
building renovation or tree removal. Residents need to inform their contractors
to make arrangements for debris removal. Also, renters may not put furniture at the curb except at the scheduled time for pick up. Please refer to the schedule below.
Green Waste and Clean Hard Fill will be
picked up on the FIRST and THIRD MONDAYS of the
month, from APRIL through early DECEMBER. Monday is the scheduled
day. However, if it cannot all be picked up that day, the remainder will be
done on Tuesday. Due to snow removal, these items will no longer be picked up in
January, February, March and late December. There is one exception: Christmas trees will be picked up in December and January.
Please refer to the schedule below.
