The following areas will have a little bit of bulk waste remaining until tomorrow morning: • Oak Park Dr • Sandy Ln • Buckwood Dr • Oak Hill Rd • Twisted Oak Dr • The portion of NE 6th St connected to these streets Waste Connection’s crews will be back first thing in the morning to finish the collection. We apologize for any inconvenience and appreciate your understanding. Thank you for your patience, Choctaw! #ChoctawCares #CityUpdate #BulkWastePickup
