The City of Clayton has contracted with Republic Services for the collection and disposal of solid waste, recycling, yard waste and compost from all single-family and multi-family properties. The new contracts that go into effect on October 1, 2023, change waste collection service from City-funded to resident-billed. The new waste collection agreements require certain provisions of the Municipal Code to align with the new practices.
