Changes to Tulsa's residential trash system

[Conan71]

It appears the old Arrow Trucking HQ has something to do with the new trash service.  I drove past on my way in from lunch.  There's a bunch of trash carts being delivered there and I also spotted some new trash trucks on the property.  Not sure if it's simply a staging area or the new contractor will use it as a base of operations.  This is in the facility on the west side of Elwood.  Miller Trucking took over the old truck maintenance yard on the east side.

I put my trash out today. They picked it up. Riots and hoarding called off.

well, we missed last week, both trash days, when we missed Monday, no biggie, we'll pick up Thursday, oops . . . hubby forgot trash comes at 6 am on Thursday and then BAM find out we don't get service again until Thursday!  Our neighbors are NOT going to like us, I was tempted to drop a few bags off at friends' houses on the east side of Harvard!  I hope they aren't stingy with their first pickup!!

A lot of houses on my street put out their trash today.  However, our pickup is now on Friday, instead of Monday/Thursday.  It will be interesting to see how many simply leave it by the curb until it is picked up.

I was looking today also down my street; didn't see one person within view who had put out their trash.  I was pleasantly surprised.

Quite an adventure in my neighborhood.  The truck started driving around for pickup at around 10 am.  Instead of going from house to house they picked up my neighbor's trash then went three or four houses down the block and picked up another neighbor's trash, then turned around and went another direction.  My wife says they came by 3 or 4 times and looked at the trash can then moved on before finally picking it up at around 2:30.

Not really sure what they were doing, but they did finally pick it up so no worries.  They did leave some boxes at a neighbors house, I assume because they were not bagged.

You may also notice white painted markings on some curbs. Figured out this is the indicator for backyard pickup.

I'm assuming these are the 96 gallon carts:

I saw those and wondered why the current ones are green and these are gray. Perhaps they are color coded by size?

Wow, I noticed that in front of our house and didn't know what had caused it.  The funny thing is that we didn't sign up for backyard pickup.

I've been walking around with paint to make things interesting for my fellow Tulsans.

I'm not that Warrior.  I'm this guy.

I too have signed painted myself up for backyard pickup.
