Waste Connections Update
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.

Waste Connections will not be running again today. The side streets are still too snow- and ice-packed for the trucks to operate safely. They will try to run tomorrow, depending on road conditions on the side streets. Please leave your carts out until they are serviced.
We will update residents as we receive more information. We apologize for the inconvenience.

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.
