Clarksville has no curbside recycling and no ordinance requiring anyone to recycle. Bi-County takes recyclables free at the Dover Road landfill and 17 convenience centers, and unlike many programs it does accept glass food and beverage containers.
Recycling in Clarksville is entirely drop-off. Bi-County accepts glass food and beverage containers in blue, brown, clear, and green; corrugated cardboard, brown grocery bags, packing paper, and cereal boxes with the liner removed; aluminum and tin or steel cans; and plastic bottles with a neck marked #1 or #2. Electronic waste, cooking oil, latex paint, antifreeze, and freon appliances are taken at 3212 Dover Road only. Rejected: pet food cans, aluminum foil, siding, pie pans, plastic bags and tubs, window or plate glass, mirrors, light bulbs, ceramic, medicine and perfume bottles, freezer boxes, and soiled pizza boxes. A 2020 board decision dropped newspaper, magazines, and junk mail from convenience center bins.
No recycling mandate exists, so there is no penalty for not recycling. Dumping recyclables outside a container is litter under section 8-202(1).
