Comprehensive Guide & Details
City of Clewiston Public Works Garbage Schedules
The City of Clewiston Public Works Department manages domestic waste collection to keep the community beautiful. Residential garbage is picked up twice a week, and your specific schedule depends on your location relative to Highway 27. Homes situated north of Highway 27 receive their trash collections on Mondays and Thursdays, while neighborhoods located to the south are serviced on Tuesdays and Thursdays. All regular household trash must be securely bagged and placed inside the designated cart to prevent litter and deter local pests from tearing through loose refuse.
Cart Management and Fine Prevention
Clewiston enforces strict regulations regarding when and how you can place your waste carts on the public right-of-way. Your bins should be rolled out no earlier than 6:00 p.m. the evening before your scheduled pickup, and they must be ready at the curb by 6:00 a.m. on collection day. It is equally important to retrieve your empty container by the end of the collection day. The city takes this rule very seriously; leaving a cart at the curb on a non-service day will result in a $25 special service charge added directly to your next monthly utility invoice.
White Goods and Special Bulk Collections
If you need to dispose of large household items that cannot fit inside your regular garbage cart, you cannot simply leave them on the swale. The city offers special collections for 'white goods'—such as old refrigerators, washing machines, window air conditioning units, and stoves—as well as large horticultural piles exceeding five cubic yards. Residents must contact the Public Works office at 863-983-1471 to schedule a special pickup. A reasonable disposal fee will be added to your subsequent utility bill. For safety reasons, any appliance with doors must have them entirely removed prior to placement.
Holiday Disruptions and Community Guidelines
Routine sanitation schedules may occasionally be interrupted by major recognized holidays. When a holiday closure occurs, the Public Works Department will shift the collection days accordingly, and notifications are typically posted on the official city website. Furthermore, Clewiston does not accept heavy construction or demolition debris through residential curbside services. Homeowners undertaking major renovations are completely responsible for renting a commercial dumpster or hauling the scrap directly to a certified regional landfill facility at their own expense.
