Trash, Recycling and Yard Waste Information
Why Recycling Matters
The amount of waste created by central Ohio residents and businesses is staggering. In fact, every resident generates an average of 9 to 10 pounds of waste each day, of which half comes to the landfill. With only so much landfill space available, it’s more important than ever that we reuse, recycle, compost or divert as much as we can.
Clinton Township has teamed up with SWACO to give give you more infomation on how to Recycle Right. Click Here to find out more!
