Sanitation

INSTRUCTION AND GUIDELINES FOR ROLLCARTS AND OTHER SERVICES

The following should be used by all residents of the City of Clemson concerning the use of the cart system and other services provided by the Public Works Department. Your help will be greatly appreciated. Please do not hesitate to call the Sanitation Department if problems arise at 653-2047.

GUIDELINES FOR ROLLCART USE

1. All garbage and refuse must be in plastic bags before being placed in rollcart. (Microwaves, vacuum cleaners, and TV's should be put out with your regular garbage. See E-Waste/E-Cycle page)

2. On your day of collection, roll your cart to the street side in front of your house, but DO NOT PLACE IT IN THE STREET.

3. During the week, between collections, store your rollcart away from the street side.

4. Always place the lid back on the cart when you deposit trash to keep rain and neighborhood pets out.

5. Our collection day begins at 7:00 a.m. and will usually end around 4:30 p.m. Carts should be placed at the street by 7:00 a.m. on collection days and removed by sunset on collection days.

6. The Cart is owned by the City, but keeping it clean, routine upkeep and protecting it from being stolen is the users responsibility. Take care of it, don't abuse it, and it will last a long time.

7. Stolen, damaged, or abused carts are replaced at the property owner's or the responsible agent's expense.

8. Do not place items such as Poisons, Acids, Caustics, Explosives, Construction Materials (i.e. concrete, wood, bricks, etc.), Furniture, Oils, Gasoline, **Paint, & Paint Thinner, Kerosene, Toxic Substances, etc., in the rollcart.

**Paint-- Remove the top of the paint cans and mix with kitty litter or with concrete, let the contents completely dry. Once in a solid state throw into the rollcart with the household garbage.

9. The cart must not be used for any other purpose than storing and collecting garbage.

10. Do not mark, write, paint, cut, or alter the cart in any way.

11. Each cart has a serial number which is recorded by residence, so do not trade carts with your neighbors.

12. The City maintains ownership of the cart at all times, so if you move either within the City or outside the City, notify the Public Works Department at 653-2047.

13. If your cart is stolen or damaged call the Public Works Department at once at 653-2053.

14. There will be no collection on City holidays (unless notified). These holidays are regularly announced in the newspapers as well as posted on this web site. Do not roll out carts on these days unless otherwise advised.

15. In bad weather during the winter months, especially in snowy and icy conditions, the Sanitation Department will attempt to operate normally, and each resident may choose whether or not to roll out their cart. If collection is postponed entirely, listen to local radio stations for details as well as this web site.

16. Handicapped residents may make a written request to the Public Works Department for special pickup consideration at their home without placing their garbage and recycling at curbside. (Physician statement required) The Sanitation Department will then make a determination as to whether a pickup is warranted and act accordingly.

GUIDELINES FOR RESIDENTIAL RECYCLING COLLECTION

1. Have recycling bin at curbside by 7:00 a.m. on collection day and remove from street by sundown on collection day.

2. All recyclables must be placed in your recycle bin.

3. Acceptable material:

All No. 1 Plastics
All No. 2 HDPE/ milk jugs only

Used oil can be placed at curbside on the same day as your regular garbage pick up. Call the Public Works Department 864.653.2053 and request an oil recycle container. This container is placed under your vehicle to allow the oil to drain directly into it as it drains from your vehicle. Turn the oil filter upside down in the oil recycle container to allow the oil to drain from the filter. Once it has drained wrap the oil filter in a plastic bag and sit it on top of the oil container at curbside. An empty one will be left in its place, if one is available on the recycle truck.

1. Bulk junk items such as stoves, refrigerators, washers, dryers, sofas, chairs, tires, etc., can be placed on curbside to be picked up. However, there may be a small fee for some items. (tires/appliances)

CITY OF CLEMSON MULCH PROGRAM

Brush Grinding Facility Hours Tuesday-Saturday 8 a.m.-5 p.m.

The brush picked up at the street side is ground into mulch at the Brush Grinding Facility @ The Public Works Department. Residents of the City can pick up mulch free of charge with an approved ID Tuesday - Saturday 8:00am-4:45pm. The facility closes 11:30am-12:30pm for lunch. The Sanitation Department can only load trailers. However, with a statement from a physician, we will make special exceptions for the Handicapped.

LOAD A TRUCK PROGRAM

The Sanitation Department offers a Load a Truck Program for residents and businesses that would like to rent a box (dumpster) to put debris items (only) overnight/weekend instead of waiting for the brush crew to come around to their section. The fee rental for residential is $20.00; Commercial is $25.00.
