Sallisaw Fall Cleanup Begins October 6

Sallisaw's Fall Cleanup will begin Oct. 6 and continue for one week. City officials said the city holds scheduled cleanup weeks for residential customers inside city limits. Items left for pick up must be divided into separate piles for brush, junk and metal. Items must not be stacked near water meters, gas meters, or fire hydrants.

City crews will only go through each neighborhood once. Once they pass each street, crews will not return and residents will be responsible for disposal.

This service is for residential customers only. Any debris left from contractors must be disposed of by the contractor. The city will not pick up any debris from construction or land clearing of any type.

Residents must not allow persons to bring material to their residence from outside the city or other locations. If material is suspected of coming from another location, the city will not pick it up and the resident will be responsible for disposal.

*All items must be curbside by 7 a.m. on the start date of the cleanup.
*Citizens may start placing items on the outside one week prior to the cleanup start date.
*Items must be stacked neatly on the curbside. Do not stack items near gas meters or fire hydrants.
*Metal must be separated from other material.

The city will not pick up:
*Any debris, refuse, or other waste from contractors; contractors must dispose of these things themselves.
*Any debris or yard waste from land clearing of any type.
*Used batteries, used tires, oil, paint or other hazardous materials, as per the Oklahoma Dept. of Environmental Quality regulations.
