Clinton's Trash Ordinance Receives Changes; Final Week of Leaf Clean Up in Clinton

The recent proposed ordinance regarding trash receptacles has drummed up some controversy.

The original ordinance proposed by streets and public improvements commissioner Nan Crang has come under fire. She says it was not her intention to offend anyone or cause anyone hardships.

Both Crang and Clinton Mayor Carolyn Peters have received feedback from residents of Clinton, and Crang has come up with an amended ordinance to better meet the concerns of Clinton residents. Crang's new proposal has eliminated hour limitations, which was one of the issues they received in their feedback.

The amended ordinance is on file for 3 more weeks. Residents can see the ordinance by stopping in at City Hall.

Crang also reminds residents this will be the last week City crews will be making their way along city streets for fall clean up work. Crang says this is to allow the Streets Department to get their equipment ready for snow removal.
