Before placing your household trash in the cart, put the trash into plastic bags to reduce litter. Only place closed-lid carts curbside. If your cart has an open lid with trash bags spilling out, the City of Clermont sanitation department will not collect it. Maintain a 3-foot distance from other carts and obstacles. Your cart must also have handles so hydraulic arms can easily lift it.
Do not place your household waste cart on the sidewalk. Ensure the area is obstacle-free to allow the hydraulic arms to function properly. If you have more garbage than usual, do not place extra trash next to your container; instead, call 352-241-7320 to request a pickup for additional trash.
Recycling Collection Guidelines
Your recycling cart will be collected on the same day as your regular garbage collection according to the Clermont trash pickup schedule. Place your recycling cart curbside by 7 AM on your collection day. Only clean, empty, and dry items should be placed in the recycling cart to prevent litter. Do not put plastic bags in the recycling cart, as they are not recyclable and slow down the recycling process.
Acceptable recycling materials include paper, telephone books, newspapers, glossy magazines, aluminum or steel food cans (with lids removed, rinsed, and crushed), and beverage, milk, juice, and water bottles labeled #1 through #7. Glass is also accepted. Irrelevant materials placed in the recycling cart will result in non-collection by the sanitation department of Clermont.

Place all bulk trash items curbside by 7 AM on your collection day.

If your bulk trash includes carpets, cut them into 4-foot lengths, roll them up, and place them curbside. Failure to follow these rules may result in non-collection of bulk trash.
According to Clermont law, acceptable bulk trash includes mattresses, box springs, bed frames, cabinets, sofas, furniture items, and other large items that do not fit into a regular service container. However, certain items are prohibited as bulk trash, including construction debris, latex paint, flammable liquids, hazardous waste, and medical instruments.
