Clinton, SC – The City of Clinton’s Department of Public Works Sanitation Division has announced a revised garbage collection schedule in observance of the July 4th holiday. Residents should note that there will be no garbage collection on Friday, July 4.
The revisions state that garbage collection routes will remain unchanged for the earlier part of the week. Collections scheduled for Monday, June 30, Tuesday, July 1, and Wednesday, July 2, will continue as planned. However, routes that were meant for Thursday, July 3, and Friday, July 4, will now be collected on Thursday, July 3. Residents are reminded to place their garbage carts on the curb by midnight on the night before their scheduled collection day.
In addition to the changes in garbage collection, it is important for residents to be aware that the Clinton County Area Solid Waste Agency facilities and the Public Works Department administrative office will be closed on July 4. This means that regular services will not be available on that day.
The revised schedule explains that all garbage, yard waste, and recycling collection services will be delayed by one day starting from Friday, July 4, with the Friday route being collected on Saturday, July 5. Residents are advised to prepare for these changes and ensure their waste is set out for collection accordingly.
Weather Conditions
For those planning to celebrate the Fourth of July, the weather forecast indicates mostly sunny skies with a high of 92°F and the possibility of a stray shower or thunderstorm early in the day. The evening is expected to cool down to around 70°F, with light and variable winds providing comfortable conditions for outdoor festivities.
Impact of Local Events on Waste Management
In a related development, residents in Hunterdon County may experience disruptions in their garbage collection services due to a fire that broke out at the county’s transfer station on Petticoat Lane in Clinton Township on April 23. The incident, which was reported at approximately 4:35 PM, required a significant response from fifteen volunteer fire departments to contain the blaze. The fire caused extensive damage, and its cause is currently under investigation.
Despite the disruption caused by the fire, residential garbage collection in Hunterdon County will continue without interruption. The Hunterdon County Division of Recycling and Solid Waste Services has been actively working with local haulers to reroute collection efforts to other facilities to maintain operational continuity.
While the affected facilities will operate under adjusted hours, they will not be able to accept regular household garbage or hazardous waste at this time. Residents seeking more information on this ongoing situation and the operational recovery may contact the Hunterdon County Division of Recycling and Solid Waste Services for assistance.
