Clinton County Area Solid Waste Agency

The Clinton County Area Solid Waste Agency is pleased 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 plastics will be accepted from the haulers coming to CCASWA and through the recycling drop-off location available at the facility located at 4292 220^th Street in rural Clinton.

CCASWA has instituted a new rule aimed at reducing litter and other types of refuse along neighboring roads, neighboring properties, and also on agency property. The rule, approved by the agency's board of directors on May 14, 2009, states that loads coming into CCASWA must be covered and/or secured. If not covered or secured, then the patron will be charged an ADDITIONAL $25 FEE. So remember to "Cover Your Load and Cover Yourself". Click Here for More Information.

Remember to keep Electronic Waste or E-Waste out of landfills. E-Waste contains a number of materials that can cause harm to the environment if disposed improperly in landfills. Just remember the solution is simple....Don't pitch it! Recycle it through the Clinton County Area Solid Waste Agency's Electronic Waste Recycling Program. TVs, computers, and numerous other consumer electronic items are accepted. For more information on the program and its rates CLICK HERE.

Clinton Chips, which are composted, woody landscape residuals for both landscape and erosion control mulching, are now available. Clinton Chips are available Monday through Friday ONLY $5 per ton! Stop by the scale house at CCASWA Monday through Friday and ask about the composted mulch or to pick up a detailed brochure. For information click the Clinton Chips link highlighted in blue.

Need to dispose of some old oil filters?

Clinton County Area Solid Waste Agency can help.

As part of a pilot program, CCASWA will accept used oil filters from residents at no charge!

The filters are being diverted the landfill to see how much leftover oil is contained in oil filters and how it affects landfills.
Right now, this is only a temporary program, but it could be expanded and modified to become a permanent program.

Save some money. Also, Save space in your garbage bag and in the landfill. Bring your used oil filters to CCASWA.
