Press release from the City of Oklahoma City: January 25, 2021 Oklahoma City residents who still have tree and limb debris from the October 2020 ice storm need to stack it at the curb by Feb. 1, so they are not missed. Crews are on schedule to complete the first pass of debris removal by Jan. 30. The second pass will start along Western Avenue and move outward east and west. City officials expect the second pass to be complete by Mar. 6. If you still have debris to set out, remember the following: Do not cover your water meter, gas meter or set debris close to any obstructions such as trees, mailboxes, fire hydrants, or vehicles Crews are not able to pick up debris piles placed under trees. Piles will need to be moved to provide access. Cut tree limbs to a length of 10 feet or shorter Make sure all limbs are separate from regular bulky waste Avoid stacking limbs on sidewalks or in the street "The October ice storm impacted our entire 621-mile service area," said Utilities Director Chris Browning. "We appreciate everyone's patience as we work through this process of getting the debris cleared as quickly as possible." Any residential storm debris (trees and limbs) remaining after the second pass has been completed in your area can be set out with regular bulky waste, but must follow bulky waste guidelines available at okc.gov/utilities. Visit okc.gov/ice for more details on ice storm debris pickup guidelines. See a map of the pickup progress at okc.gov/debrismap, which is updated each week day.
