LET’S PRETTY UP PONCA!
It’s the perfect time of the year to PRETTY UP PONCA as the annual City-Wide Garage Sale will be held Saturday, April 6. For this one day only the City will waive the regular requirements for a garage sale. The $5 permit won’t be required, and the garage sale will not be counted toward the yearly limit of two. Residents who hold garage sales on this day are encouraged to place the leftovers out at their regular trash pickup spot for proper disposal or donate them to a local charity. In case of inclement weather, the event will be held on Saturday, April 13.
It's the perfect time of the year to PRETTY UP PONCA as the annual Spring Clean-Up will be held April 6 thru April 13 for Ponca City residents. Solid Waste crews will pick up most trash and haul it away, or residents can haul it to the Landfill themselves and get rid of it for free or take up to six loads for free to the Ponca City Landfill. Residents wanting to dispose of tires must take the tires to the designated area for tires at the Landfill, as City crews will not pick up tires. The Landfill will accept tires that are 24 inches or smaller, but tires on rims, tractor tires, and heavy equipment tires will not be accepted. The Landfill is located at 2501 W. Riverview Road and hours of operation are Monday thru Saturday from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Residents must present a current PCUA bill with trash service and driver’s license at the Landfill.
It's the perfect time of the year to PRETTY UP PONCA and recycle. The Recycling Center is located at 1001 W. Prospect and hours of operation are Wednesday thru Sunday from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. The Recycling Center accepts car batteries, latex paint, clean glass, clean tin cans, newspapers, magazines, cardboard, aluminum cans, books, and mixed metals.
It's the perfect time of the year to PRETTY UP PONCA and safely dispose of poisons, antifreeze and chemicals as the bi-annual Household Hazardous Waste Collection Day will be held on Saturday, April 27, from 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. This event is held in partnership with Phillips 66 and will be in the Phillips 66 parking lot located at Oak Street and South Avenue. Items accepted include: cleaning products, automotive products, lawn and garden products, indoor pesticides, flammable products, workshop/paint supplies, photographic chemicals, fixatives and solvents, driveway sealer, over-the-counter medications, rechargeable batteries, ammunition and electronic/computer equipment. Items not accepted include: medical waste, hypodermic needles, radioactive materials, dynamite, explosives, compressed gas cylinders, commercial waste, tires, any container over 5 gallons and kitchen appliances.
And, It’s the perfect time of the year to PRETTY UP PONCA and paint. Solid Waste takes the paint from the Household Hazardous waste event, matches up common colors, mixes them together in 5-gallon buckets and then advertises to the public when the paint is available for pick up. After the last Household Hazardous Waste Day event in 2022, Solid Waste successfully recycled 625 gallons of paint.
