Protect your pocketbook from swindlers. If a salesperson is selling items door to door in your neighborhood, ask to see his or her solicitors or peddlers license. The City requires that solicitors carry a police-issued photo ID and pass and Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation background check. If the salesperson does not have a license, buy beware. Churches and educational programs are exempt from the ordinance.

If you get a knock on your door from a soliciter, please contact the leasing office immediately.

About four trillion plastic bags are made each year, and it takes decades for each bag to decompose in landfills. Although plastic bags are not accepted in the City's Curbside Recycling Program, you can still recycle at most grocery stores.

The Household hazardous Waste Collection Facility will host a special collection for ammunition, computers, and tires from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Saturday October 4th on the south side of the State Fairgrounds.

The collection is open to Oklahoma City residents only. Recyclers must bring their current Oklahoma city water bill stub to prove residency.
Wheels, rims, and oversized tires such as equipment or farm implement tires will not be accepted.

Businesses wanting to recycle hazardous waste should contact the Department of Environmental Quality at 702-5100.
