Sanitation Service will be provided once a week with a 6-30 gallon bag limit. A bag cannot weigh more than 40-pounds. The bags must be placed in secure containers. Neither garbage cans nor recycling cans can be placed at curbside no earlier than 5:00 p.m the preceding night.

As a reminder, garbage cannot be brought into town from another municipality. Violators will be prosecuted.

 

Large Item Collection Program

In lieu of the traditional clean up week, the Large Item Collection Program will now be implemented. On the third Wednesday of the month the large items will be collected. Some months the collection date may vary so be sure to check the advertised dates in the Newsletter. The large Items will be collected for a fee of $5.00. Place an envelope containing a check, name, address and phone number where the large item is to be collected. Place the envelope in the drop off box in front of the Municipal Building. Please no cash.  Collections will be assigned based upon the addresses listed.

Exclusions – No tires, batteries or construction material will be collected. Wood bundles must be tied and no longer than five feet in length.

The landfill is no longer accepting refrigerators, freezers, air conditioners, or any item containing freon. Therefore, we will no longer be collecting these items.

Program Limitations – The program is for St. Clair Borough sanitation customers only. No material from outside the Borough is allowed. Violators will be prosecuted.
