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.

The City of Choctaw partnered with Freese and Nichols to complete a draft of its Unified Development Code (UDC) as part of an effort to improve the City’s development regulations and provide organized standards all in one place! This update is intended to create a more user-friendly and transparent code that’s easier for residents, property owners, developers, and businesses to understand and use. The draft UDC includes visuals meant to take the guesswork out of the process, improve consistency and provide greater clarity on how development standards apply throughout the community.
This draft is an important step toward making Choctaw’s development rules clearer, more consistent, and easier to use. We encourage residents to review the draft Unified Development Code. https://cityofchoctawok.sites.thrillshare.com/documents/23427448
