Garbage & Recycling

Citywide Clean Up 

Clinton Public Works hosts two citywide cleanups per year. One in the Spring and one in the Fall. Our next citywide cleanup will be held:

April 15-22, 2023 (except Sunday)

The City of Clinton’s annual Spring Citywide Cleanup will take place April 15th - 22nd (except Sunday, April 16th). During the cleanup period, the City of Clinton will have dumpsters available for residents at the old Northside Elementary School location at 1111 Old Vicksburg Road.

Hours of operation for the City of Clinton’s Spring Cleanup are 7 am to 5 pm. The site will continue to be closed on Sunday. City employees will be present to help residents, as needed.

“Spring cleanup continues to grow in utilization by Clinton residents. Public Works hopes that most residents will participate in the service to keep Clinton cleaner,” said Phillip Lilley, Director of Public Works.

Residents utilizing the service are asked to line up on Longwood Place in the Briars and turn west on Old Vicksburg Road for disposal. Due to the expense of the program, the Public Works Department will limit the service to residents of Clinton only. Residents utilizing the service will be asked to show proof of residency. Accepted forms of identification include a City of Clinton water/garbage bill, a driver’s license or state-issued ID card with a Clinton address.

The spring cleanup days are a service to Clinton residents who may have items too large to dispose of on their regularly scheduled garbage collection days. Residents can dispose of yard waste, bulky items and other household debris free of charge. 

The spring cleanup period does not include e-waste, such as old computers, printers or keyboards, which can often be partially recycled.  Refrigerators, freezers and A/C units cannot be accepted due to freon. A separate time for disposal of e-waste and hazardous materials, such as paint and pesticides, will be offered in the on May 13th.
