Debris collection underway for October 13 storm

Oklahoma City crews have begun collecting tree and limb debris from the area impacted by the October 13 storm. Customers who experienced fallen limbs and trees during the October 15 storm need to have debris set out at their curb on Sunday, October 24. Crews will begin collecting limbs in those areas beginning Monday, October 25.

The Oklahoma City Utilities Department will continue to post a daily progress map during the debris collection period.

Two maps related to the storms are available on the city’s website at okc.gov/utilities:

• Storm debris collection area map
• Debris collection progress map

 In all instances, customers are asked to do the following:

•  Cut all limbs and trees into lengths of 10 feet or shorter.
• Keep all storm debris separate from their regular bulky trash such as appliances, furniture, or carpeting. If storm debris is mixed with regular bulky trash, it will not be collected until that customer’s regular bulky trash day, and fees will apply.
• Do not cover sidewalks or water meters, and keep all debris away from mailboxes, trees, and obstacles.
• Fencing materials should be set out with customers’ regular monthly bulky trash and may be subject to excess bulky fees.
• Structural debris, such as roofing, window frames, bricks, or construction materials are the responsibility of the homeowner and will not be collected with other storm debris or bulky waste.
