Midwest City announces spring cleanup services

With springtime just around the corner, the city of Midwest City is reminding residents of numerous services available related to property cleanup and maintenance through its Go Clean Go Green campaign.

“Through these services, we are striving to provide easy and effective ways to assist residents with proper disposal of property,” City Manager Guy Henson said.

Services available include:

• Special bulk trash pickup:

Residents may request the sanitation department send trucks to their homes to pick up items that won’t fit or are not allowed in either the recycling or sanitation carts, such as yard waste and household items. Examples of items accepted through this service include, but are not limited to: Furniture, brush, household items, etc. For reservations, call 739-1063 by 5 p.m. Mondays to arrange for pickup.

• Compost Facility, 7420 NE 36: Yard waste material will be accepted at no charge and includes: Grass clippings, leaves, green waste, brush and woody material.

No appointment is necessary for yard waste disposal, which may be dropped off from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. Tuesday, Thursday or Saturday, except on holidays. All residents dropping off material at the compost facility must bring their most recent Midwest City utility bill and current driver’s license as proof of residency.

• Purchasing compost: The product is an excellent soil amendment, with high nitrogen content, a news release stated, adding it will not burn plants and is a great dressing for yards.

• Disposal of household hazardous waste: Many consumer products contain chemicals that if improperly used, stored or disposed of might be hazardous to human health or the environment. Chemicals in these products become hazardous waste when they are no longer wanted or needed as household products and are not disposed of properly. Some examples of household hazardous waste include home and garden products, such as cans of paint, pesticides, solvents, cleaners and automotive products.

The drop-off location is 8726 SE 15. Call 739-1049 to make an appointment to drop-off products. For more information regarding household hazardous waste, go to https:// midwestcityok.org/245/ Household-HazardousWaste
