City of Enid Solid Waste officials remind residents that the green yard waste collection has transitioned to the spring and summer schedule.
Residents are reminded to place the green polycart container at the curb no later than 7:30 a.m. on Mondays and at least four feet away from other containers, parked vehicles, street lampposts, trees, mailboxes and other obstructions.
The City-issued green polycarts are used for yard waste such as leaves, twigs, and grass. Green yard waste polycart containers will not be emptied if they contain household trash, due to yard waste being placed in a different field for composting.
The green polycarts may be purchased for a one-time fee of $60.00. The $60.00 fee will be charged to the resident’s water bill after they receive the container.
Those who wish to obtain a polycart or an additional polycart, can contact Solid Waste Services at (580) 616-7300.
