Bartlesville Public Works: Leaf and Grass Collection and Holiday Trash Schedule
Tom Davis
The City of Bartlesville’s free leaf and grass collection for Bartlesville residents is underway this week, December 9-13. The service is provided multiple times each year to help residents dispose of yard debris.
Appearing on KWON Radio's CITY MATTERS, Public Works Director Keith Henry said, "Leaves must be placed at the curb in bags on your scheduled trash day for collection. Yard waste stickers are not required during this collection and clear or colored bags may be used. The collection is for leaves, grass and small tree debris only — no trash is permitted — and no commercial collections will be made. He added,“This collection is for private residences only — no commercial collections will be made. Also, this is for yard debris only. When it comes to trash and other items, residents should comply with all other standard refuse regulations.”
There is no limit on the number of bags a resident can put out for this collection. Leaves and grass will only be collected once, on the same day as scheduled trash collection. Extra bags or items of household refuse outside the cart must have the red refuse sticker attached. This free collection of leaves and grass will only be for this designated week.
Tree limbs will be collected as long as they’re bundled and do not exceed 4 feet in length or 50 pounds.
Keith then reminded the audience that the holiday trash schedule is actually fortunate this year that Christmas and New Year's is actually going to fall on a Wednesday this year. He said that it's not going to affect the residential collection because the residential guys don't pick up on Wednesdays.
