The City of Clemson suspended the curbside recycling program beginning August 1, 2022, due to the increasing inefficiency of collecting materials that are not currently being recycled when the same material could be picked up and taken to the land fill in the course of our residential sanitation routes.  The City will reinstate the program once the market for these materials returns and allows them to be kept out of the landfill.

The City of Clemson encourages those who wish to continue recycling to do so. Residents will still be able to drop-off their recyclables at the City’s Public Works Facility located at 1155 Old Central Road.
