City Council 10 Mar 2026

The Clinton City Utah City Council meeting on March 10, 2026, focused significantly on the potential implementation of a citywide recycling and green waste program. The council discussed the benefits of an opt-out recycling program to increase participation and extend the life of the local landfill, which is projected to close around 2040 without intervention. Public input was solicited, with residents expressing support and concerns about costs, education on recycling practices, and the handling of materials like glass. Representatives from the local landfill and waste hauling company addressed questions about program logistics, contamination issues, and cost implications. The council also reviewed budget and contract matters related to sewer line improvements and water meter upgrades, including the negotiation of easements for water line installation. A grant of approximately $125,000 was secured to support the water meter program, and potential EPA grant funding for green waste cans was discussed, with a resolution expected in April. Other agenda items included department head reports, vehicle replacement budgeting, and community event announcements. The meeting concluded with plans to revisit the recycling program decision after grant confirmation.
