Public Works Department

The Public Works Department enjoyed another successful year maintaining town facilities and grounds.  For the first time in approximately 5 years, there was additional funding to accomplish the paving of Kelseytown Rd., Carter Hill Rd., Watrous Rd., Egypt Lane, East/West Loop and Loop Road.  The Public Works winter equipment is ready to go and we have a full salt shed.  We have worked closely all year with our new Public Works Commission and have taken several suggestions under advisement.

Finally, in closing we are anxiously awaiting the construction of our new Public Works Office. The administration personnel have been in a construction trailer for over a year.

Peter Neff, Director of Public Works

Residential dump passes for use of the transfer/recycling center are issued by the Department of Public Works Office Monday thru Friday between the hours of 7:00 a.m. – 3:30 p.m. (Lunch – 12-12:30). The Office is closed for Holidays and weekends.

Proof of residency (drivers’ license, registration) is required to use the Transfer Station; someone who lives in another town but owns property in Clinton cannot get a pass  There are several choices of passes available: A recycling pass is free and allows residents to bring newspapers, cardboard, magazines, glass, cans, plastic, metal items, and leaves.

A 20-bag garbage pass is $20.00 and allows for 20 (30 gal.) bags of garbage; a 60-bag garbage pass is $60.00 and allows for 60 (30-gal. bags) of garbage.  See rate sheet for any other materials.  The passes are for residential household garbage only. We do not allow businesses to use the Transfer Station. There is a charge for other items.

If you have gotten a dump pass before and you need another one, call 860-664-1100 between the hours of 7:00 a.m. and 3:30 p.m. Monday-Friday and a pass will be left at the Transfer Station for you to pickup on Saturday.  It is not necessary to go to Public Works each time you need a pass, unless you are a first time user, then you must present proof of residency at the office of Public Works and pick up your first pass.

Residential lumber/sheetrock/wooden furniture etc. is charged by the pickup truck load (see rate sheet). The Bulky Waste Site takes leaves and brush under 3" diameter only.  Brush has to be under 3” diameter and we do not take stumps, logs or larger limbs.

However, if you are cleaning out your house in Clinton from a “renter” (and they live in another town) they can bring acceptable items to the transfer station and pay a fee for each of the materials they have and fill out a “bulky waste form” at the Transfer Station.

Businesses and Contractors may not obtain a Transfer Station pass – they must make their own arrangements privately.

All tires must be off the rims:  Car tires - $3.00 each; Pickup Truck Tires - $5.00 each
