When available, mulch can be loaded at 7 a.m. and 5 p.m., Monday thru Friday — please note mulch is only loaded at these times and not throughout the day. Mulch is not available on rainy days. All trucks and trailers must have side walls and be covered (example: with a tarp) before leaving the yard. For mulch availability, call Public Works at 336-766-9170. These services are limited to Village of Clemmons residents, and you may be asked to show ID.

Leaf collection is underway! The Village of Clemmons runs the leaf trucks continuously each week throughout the municipality. Leaf collection will continue until the volume dissipates. Further communication on an end date will be distributed. Leaves should be placed on the edge of your street. It is not possible to specify an exact day of the week for pickup.

Transportation

Work is underway on the last phase of Market Center Drive (which extends north from Stadium Drive to the ABC Store in front of Aldi). Please exercise caution in the area.

The Village of Clemmons, in coordination with the Forsyth County Sheriff’s Office, will be using the placard system for designated neighborhoods to be used during the Tanglewood Festival of Lights again this year.

Placards are available only for the following neighborhoods: Old Meadowbrook, Westridge, Asbury Place and Tanglewood Farms/River Oaks.
