According to the laws of Broken Arrow, regular garbage collection services are provided once a week to residents. It is required that residents place their regular garbage carts at the curbside by 6 AM on their scheduled collection day. Do not be late, or your trash cart may be missed during collection. Only use a closed-lidded cart.
To reduce litter and spillage, place all trash materials in plastic bags before putting them in the trash carts. Avoid overfilling the cart, as trash spilling out of the cart will not be collected. Residents must follow certain rules and regulations related to trash collection.
For example, place your trash carts in obstacle-free locations with a clearance of 4 feet on both sides. Avoid placing carts on sidewalks to allow easy access for individuals in wheelchairs and parents with strollers. Position your cart so that its lid faces the front of the street, and collect your cart as soon as possible once it has been emptied.
