Waste Connections has evaluated the streets in Choctaw. Residential side streets remain heavily snow- and ice-packed, making it unsafe for trucks to navigate.
Routes will begin on Thursday, starting with Wednesday’s route and continuing through Saturday. Next week, Monday and Tuesday customers will be served on their regularly scheduled days. For next week only-Monday and Tuesday customers may place extra bags next to their cans for pick up.
We understand this is frustrating, but the safety of both truck operators and residents is top priority.
We will update residents as we receive more information. We apologize for the inconvenience.
Theme nights—Nerd Night, Wildlife and Outdoors Night, Dog Days of Summer, and the Pepper Festival Arts and Crafts Show—applications are also open.
If you are a vendor, organization, volunteer, or entertainer, you can now sign up through the system.
If you are interested in being part of the pepper-eating contest at the Pepper Festival, or if you are a band that has never performed at Friday Nights in the Park and would like to volunteer to play, please sign up for the date you would like to perform and then send a video to specialevents@choctawcity.org

Waste Connections will not be running trash trucks tomorrow, Monday, January 26. All collections will be pushed back one day.
It’s likely there will be a late start on Tuesday to allow the sun to come up and the roads to thaw. There may be some streets that crews are unable to access on Tuesday. If that happens, we will keep everyone updated as we learn more.
