On rare occasions we may be late providing service due to weather or unusual volumes being collected.  We typically continue to collect from trash carts until dark.  Trash carts not serviced will be collected the next day.  You can give us a call as soon as possible during business hours at 329-1023 or send an e-mail to sanitation@normanok.gov.

Place your cart at the edge of your lawn, no more than three feet from the curb, three feet from other carts, and with the opening towards the street. Be sure to place your cart away from mailboxes, cars, and any other objects.

There are only a few situations in which we would not pick up household items on a scheduled Spring or Fall Clean Up day and those include imminent tornado threat or extreme icy conditions. 

DON’T LET YOUR OLD BATTERIES GO TO WASTE!

Rechargeable batteries are in high demand for all kinds of products. Unfortunately, these batteries do not last forever. While readily available replacement batteries keep our devices going, the question remains:  how can we responsibly dispose of the batteries we no longer need?

Did you know multiple fires, each day, are started because of overcharged or improperly charged batteries?  According to a 2021 report by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency showed that between the years of 2013 and 2020, there were 245 fires at 64 different waste collection facilities across the country.    The danger is real, and the consequences can be swift. Batteries can erupt in mere seconds, leaving little time for reaction. Here is a video describing what happens when batteries catch fire from overcharging: Learning How to Combat Lithium-Ion Battery Fires: What You Need to Know (youtube.com)

The solution to combatting these unfortunate events is to dispose of batteries properly instead of tossing them into the trash or continuing to charge batteries in hopes they might hold a charge.  The risk is too much and the outcome could be devastating.

The City of Norman offers a convenient, responsible disposal solution for most batteries: the Household Hazardous Waste Facility, located at 3803 Chatauqua Avenue. Here, you can safely dispose of a wide range of used batteries, promoting a greener and safer community. We can accept a variety of battery types, including the following:

• Alkaline batteries
• Lithium batteries
• Nickel Cadmium batteries (cordless phone batteries, power tool batteries, etc.)
• Nickel Metal Hydride batteries (camera batteries, 2- way radio batteries, etc.)
• Lead Acid batteries

Currently, we are unable to accept swollen or damaged lithium batteries due to the potential risk of explosion and fire. If you have such batteries for disposal, we recommend contacting Batteries + Bulbs at 2401 West Main Street, reachable at (405) 455-7587. We recommend contacting the business ahead of time to determine if there are any fees associated with their service
