On private property in Clinton, no permit is needed. The City's own definitions actually recognize this kind of container by name: a container for construction or bulk use is described as a temporary metal container supplied by a commercial disposal company, for construction and bulk removal, in which garbage is not deposited. A lid is not required, but the container must be secured for transport and must be removed as soon as the need for it is finished.
Public ground splits in two, and this is the part worth reading twice.
For a construction site, the City is explicit that container facilities may not sit in the public right of way at all. The container goes on the site, and a published list of setbacks applies: clear of the forty-foot sight triangle at an intersection, ten feet from a fire hydrant, ten feet from any public or private driveway or its approach, thirty feet from the approach to a stop sign, yield sign or signal, never on a sidewalk, never blocking a mail box, and never obstructing traffic or a public works project. On a narrow lot those setbacks can leave very little lawful ground, so the placement is worth planning before the truck arrives.
For any other private container, Clinton does publish a route: an owner or occupant who wants a container in the public right of way obtains a permit from Public Works for the specific time it will be used. The conditions are detailed. The container sits against the curb, never on a curb or sidewalk, and anything left in the street after sunset must carry reflective tape of at least six square inches on each corner, between thirty-six and forty-eight inches above the bottom, or approved traffic barricades at each street-side corner. During winter parking restrictions, a right-of-way placement may be refused outright.
Clinton also requires every construction site to have a means of containing construction debris, and puts that duty on the general contractor or whoever holds the building permit. Reach Clinton City on 801-614-0700 or Public Works on 801-614-0870, and your account manager will confirm which of the two placement routes applies to your address before booking.
