Trash

You can thank Texas for having less trash on your highways.

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 City of Lawton could use our help in keeping Lawton, Fort Sill beautiful.

How would you like to win a free years worth of solid waste collection? Well, you could do just that with the City of Lawton's new contest "Solid Waste September."

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.

Once a week trash pick up in Lawton, Fort Sill will officially start on Monday, April 5th (04-05-21). The City of Lawton and City Council made the decision to go to once a week residential trash pick up awhile back at the very beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic last year due to expected budget shortfalls, but delayed action until now. However, the city is now prepared for this change and solid waste collection are prepared as well. Looks like the dreaded day has finally arrived, once a week trash pick up in Lawton, Fort Sill.

The City of Lawton and City Council made the decision to go to once a week trash pick up awhile back at the very beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic due to expected budget shortfalls, but delayed action until now. Originally it was suppose to happen back in October of 2020 or at least that was the target date. However, the city had to prepare for this change and ensure solid waste collection was prepared as well.

We see what you did there Pat.

Well it looks like Lawton will be going to once a week trash pick-up after all. The city held their budget meeting yesterday (07-18-20) and approved the 2020/2021 budget. It includes several cost saving actions the city will adopt going forward including the once a week trash pick-up.

Nobody wanted them so he is taking a trip to the dump.

We could be going to once a week trash pick up in Lawton. It's being talked about and it's looking like it might actually happen. No vote by the City Council has been taken yet at least not officially that I'm aware of, but it's been included in the City's upcoming budget plans.
