Residents make a haul on free Landfill Day

(September 21, 2009) - Here’s a chance to get rid of old junk and debris: Free Landfill Day. Oklahoma City residents may take a truckload to a participating landfill between 7 a.m. and 3 p.m., Saturday, Oct. 3. 

Each residential household may drop off one load using a passenger vehicle or a single-axle truck up to a 1-ton and one trailer up to 16-feet long.

Bulk waste rules and regulations also apply to Free Landfill Day.  Simply put, that means no appliances containing Freon or other refrigerants, household hazardous waste, tires, oils, car batteries, propane tanks, pool chemicals or electronic waste.
