ST. CLAIRSVILLE — JB Green Team will again sponsor the annual Community Cleanups in coordination with the Belmont County Township Trustees.
All 2022 Belmont County Community Cleanup collections are held on Saturdays between 9 a.m. and 1 p.m. Residents of both Belmont and Jefferson counties are welcome to participate and may attend any scheduled collection.
Residents are invited to bring most old household junk, appliances, fixtures, furniture, lawn furniture and equipment, riding and climbing toys, carpeting, car batteries, foam packing, mirrors, dishes, glassware, plastic buckets, trash cans, etc. All loose items should be boxed or bagged to help process everyone through the line in a timely manner.
JB Green Team has stopped taking household batteries at community cleanups. Batteries will be accepted during the Household Hazardous Waste collection later in the year.
Tires will not be accepted at community cleanups. A special Tire Recycling Only collection will be held 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. June 25 at the Belmont County Fairgrounds. Tires must be off the rim and the Environmental Protection Agency 10-tire limit per vehicle will be enforced. Tire recycling is provided for standard size car and light truck tires only. No semi-truck, agricultural or industrial equipment tires. Tires are required to be free of heavy accumulations of water or dirt, as this can seriously damage tire shredding equipment.

JB Green Team reserves the right to refuse unacceptable items and items that create a health or safety hazard for collection workers. Window glass should always be boxed, or the edges taped.
Organizers ask that visitors to the cleanups be patient in line as there will be minimal assistance in unloading vehicles this year. We do ask that you help unload if you are able.
For questions or more information, call JB Green Team at 740-296-5376 in Belmont County; 740-266-6899 in Jefferson County or contact your local township trustee. Questions, collection dates and locations and other possible locations for unacceptable items can be found at www.ibgreenteam.org.
