Dear Village Residents:

You will soon be receiving in the mail, a brochure and 2021 Calendar. The brochure outlines the Garbage, Trash, Debris and Green Waste policy recently adopted by the Village Board.

The calendar details the pick up days for all types of waste for this year.  A new calendar will be developed annually for your convenience.

Please review and note pick up days, put out times, definitions and other details.

This policy was revised in light of changing resources and a renewed focus on infrastructure projects critical to the Village.

We appreciate your understanding and support adjusting to the new policy and pick up schedule.

Thank you,

Elizabeth C. Tantillo

Mayor

Village of Clinton
