It's laughable and insulting that some of our quote, unquote city leaders, and council members say it's going great and has helped with litter and excess trash. Who the hell are they kidding? They must live outside the city limits because our neighborhoods look like a damn alley in Bangkok.
The Lawton City Council is considering more changes to our trash collection. They met in regular session this week to discuss amending some of the city codes and regulations when it comes to trash pick ups and disposal. So of the changes would include fining people if they leave their trash carts on the curb past 8:00pm. Another proposed change would be making all house-side residential trash cart service available for the disabled only. Most of what was discussed included adding additional costs or fines to existing services. Most of the ordinances are already in place but would now include fines.
If you're still waiting on the city to pick up your bulk trash in area #4 which is East Lawton they're still out collecting and will get to you as soon as possible. The City of Lawton announced that they would be extending the bulk trash pick up through today (05-03-21) due to the amount of waste being set out and the recent unfavorable weather.
