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.
