RE: New Plastics Accepted for Recycling
The Clinton County Area Solid Waste Agency is please to announce that it will expand its plastic recycling efforts. Starting July 1, 2011 CCASWA will begin accepting #3 through #7 type food containers. The new materials accepted join the plastic food container types #1 and #2 already being accepted by CCASWA. These new plastic types can be mixed in with the existing plastics during collection.
The newly accepted items will include cooking oil bottles, squeezable bottles, yogurt cups, juice jugs, ketchup bottles, butter and margarine bowls, screw top plastic containers, plastic soft drink cups, disposable plastic cups, household cleaner containers, etc. Those recycling are asked to try and rinse out residues found inside of containers to be recycled.
Even with the expansion of the plastics recycling program, there are some items which CCASWA cannot accept for recycling. These items include plastic films and bags (including grocery bags), containers for hazardous materials (such as anti-freeze, pesticides, chemicals, fuel treatments, or motor oil), all styrofoam products, lids containing styrofoam inserts, medical supplies, plastic without a recycling symbol and bulky or oversized plastic items.
For more information on items that can be recycles or any other services offered by the Clinton County Area Solid Waste Agency, visit www.ccaswa.com or call (563) 243-4749.

RE: Solid Waste Survey Cards Deadline is June 17th~
Recently, the City of Clinton mailed every resident a postage paid survey card requesting if the resident wishes to be included in the new solid waste automated collection system.
The initial sign up phase for the automated solid waste program is drawing to a close. For the residents who still wish to participate, the sign up cards MUST be received in the Public Works office BEFORE 12:00PM on Friday, June 17th. Any cards not received after this date will not be processed until the second sign up phase begins - the date will be announced in the near future.
Any resident who has not responded will not have solid waste or yard waste card delivered to their home. Once the automated program begins, solid waste bags with stickers and/or compost bags will not be collected. All residents without carts will be responsible for the disposal of their own solid waste and yard waste.
The City of Clinton wants to Thank You for your cooperation.

SUBJECT:Solid Waste Survey Cards are in the mail ~
Every resident will be receiving a postage paid survey card in the mail requesting information - asking if the resident wishes to be included in the new solid waste automated collection system. It is very important that every resident that wishes to have the City of Clinton provide solid waste containers and/or yard waste containers participate. The containers will be delivered to residents that wish to be included - at no cost for the containers. The new containers will be the only containers that are collected by the City of Clinton for solid waste and yard waste. Bags will no longer be collected and stickers will no longer be needed. The containers are a part of the new automated collection system that the City is converting to. These containers are well identified with the City of Clinton "paddle wheel logo" on both sides of the container.
It is very important to complete and return the card that you will receive in the mail. Without this information, we will not be able to identify who wishes to be a part of the City's collection system. There are only two questions on the card to be answered by checking either yes or no, and the address where the cans are to be delivered. An example follows:
I want to have a solid waste container delivered to my property and participate in the City of Clinton solid waste program.
Yes ______ No _______
I want to have a yard waste container delivered to my property and participate in the City of Clinton yard waste program.
Yes ______ No _______
