This past month we hit the exciting milestone of providing outstanding refuse service to over 40,000 customers! It has been amazing to see how much our program has evolved since adding recycling to our curbside collection programming, and with the support and approval of the Broken Arrow Municipal Authority, we’ve purchased new Automated Side Load Vehicles that have been instrumental in improving our operations to meet our customers’ needs.

Thank you to everyone in our great community and we can’t wait to showcase what exciting changes are next!

UPDATE: (10/1 2:55 P.M.) - The recycling center has made the repairs at its facility. Recyclables collected curbside from customers' blue carts will be disposed of at the center.

-----------------------------------------------

Due to an issue that has taken the recycling center offline and is preventing us from offloading your recyclables, we are notifying customers of our Wednesday (10/1) and Thursday (10/2) routes about their options for disposal of their recyclables this week.

♻ Recyclables will be collected as usual BUT dumped at the landfill. If you accept this option, place your blue recycle cart at the curb.
♻ If you do not wish to have your recyclables dumped at the landfill, please do not place your blue recycle cart at the curb.
♻ The Met at 302 N. Elm Place is open Monday through Saturday between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. and on Sunday between 1 p.m. and 5 p.m. Please review the materials the facility accepts at https://www.metrecycle.com/broken-arrow.

It is our understanding the recycling center is expected to resume operations before next week. We regret the inconvenience and appreciate your support.

Why Flattening Cardboard Boxes for Recycling Matters 📦♻️

Quick reminder: Flattening your cardboard boxes before putting them out for curbside recycling really helps! Here’s why:

1. Saves space in the recycling truck, reducing trips and energy use. 🚛

2. Makes processing easier at recycling facilities, helping things run smoothly. 🏭

3. Keeps bins tidier and makes recycling more efficient for everyone. 🗑️

It only takes a minute, and it’s a simple way to make a big difference! Let’s all do our part. 🌍
