Winter Weather Advisory: City Offices Closed Monday

The City of Norman administrative offices and recreation centers will be closed on Monday in anticipation of a significant weather event.  

City Public Works crews continue pre-treat bridges, overpasses and major intersections with brine or salt. The primary snow routes are being treated first, followed by secondary routes as resources permit. Crews will continue to monitor the situation and remain on standby to perform clearing operations as needed.

Trash service, bulky waste, and recycling collection has been cancelled for Norman customers with Monday service due to weather conditions. Weather pending, all trash collection will be shifted for the remainder of the week. The adjusted schedule will be as follows:

  • Monday service will be collected on Tuesday;
  • Tuesday service will be collected on Wednesday;
  • Wednesday service will be collected Thursday;
  • Thursday trash service will be collected on Friday; and
  • Friday trash service will be collected on Saturday.

Residents should expect delays as drivers take precautions due to hazardous road conditions. We ask that you leave your polycarts out until our crews are able to come collect it.

The Transfer Station, located at 3901 Chautauqua Avenue, will also be closed Monday due to inclement weather.

REMEMBER: During icy conditions, drivers are asked to:

  • Allow extra space between vehicles to provide adequate distance for braking.
  • Be aware of black ice, which looks wet on the roadway but is a thin layer of ice.
  • Accelerate and decelerate slowly.
  • Do not use cruise control.
  • Be patient, plan trips ahead and allow for extra time in reaching destinations.
  • Avoid unnecessary travel.
  • Keep a bundle of cold-weather gear in your car, such as extra food and water, warm clothing a flashlight, a glass scraper, blankets, medications and more.

Residents are also reminded of the need to allow faucets to drip and open cabinet doors during freezing temperatures to prevent pipe bursts and flooding.

Those in need of shelter or assistance are encouraged to call the help hotline at 211 or check out the City’s webpage for additional homeless resources.
