Holiday Sanitation Schedule

This year, with Christmas and New Year’s being on Saturdays, there will be no change in sanitation service. The Sanitation Division will run regular service schedules during the holidays.

In response to many concerns about the capacity of the poly carts for extra holiday trash, Norman Sanitation crews will be picking up extra trash that is placed next to the poly cart. This extra pick-up will occur for two weeks from December 27, 2004, to January 7, 2005, on normal service days. Trash must be placed in bags. Only normal waste items will be picked-up, not hazardous waste or bulky items that would normally be picked up during spring and fall clean up. Citizens are encouraged to use one of Norman’s three recycling centers to dispose of their corrugated cardboard. They are:

Pratt Foods – Lindsey & 12th Avenue Southeast
Target Store – 24th Avenue & West Main
Hollywood Shopping Center – Lindsey & McGee

Christmas trees will be collected on regular yardwaste collection days. The city asks that all ornaments, tree stands and other plastic items be removed from the tree prior to placement at the curb. Also, trees more than six feet in height should be cut in half prior to being placed at the curb for collection.
