Sanitation

The City of Clermont's Sanitation Division serves approximately 12,000 customers with garbage removal, recycling pick-up, yard waste removal, e-waste removal and bulk pick-ups every week. The city provides every customer with 1 trash can and 1 recycle cart at $23.08 per month (residential). In an effort to meet the needs of the residents, the city provides three difference sized carts for both trash and recycling. The sizes available are 35, 65, and 95 gallons. View photos and dimensions (PDF). Additional containers are available upon request, the cost of those additional for $12.40 per month for each extra garbage can requested. There is no extra charge for an extra recycling container.

Set out all garbage and recyclables, including bulk items, before 7 am on the designated collection day. Please note: there are some items, such as building materials, tires, hazardous waste and motor oil that cannot be collected and need to be disposed of at a separate facility. This will reduce operational costs and ensure garbage is collected in a timely manner. Please visit the other areas of the Sanitation section of this website for specific information on all services and requirements.
