Two Events Help Tulsans Clean Up Tulsa

The Metropolitan Environmental Trust is helping with the Clean Sweep effort this year by supplying bags and gloves to anyone who would like to participate. You can pick up these supplies through April 30 at six Tulsa Park Community Centers: Lacy, McClure, Hicks, Reed, Whiteside and Centennial.
In addition, you can register any group cleanup events through our Working in Neighborhood Department neighborhood liaisons. Call Raquel Dawson, 596-7217 or Cassandra Love, 596-5623 to register.
Also, this weekend is the semiannual Fairgrounds Pollutant Collection event, from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the Tulsa County Fairgrounds. Enter at Gate 7 - 15th and Sandusky. You can bring hazardous residential waste, including oil-based paints and cleansers, batteries, pesticides, and so forth to this event. Citizens from Bixby, Broken Arrow, Claremore, Collinsville, Coweta, Glenpool, Jenks, Owasso, Sand Springs, Tulsa and Tulsa County may drop off pollutants for free. The City of Tulsa's Quality Assurance section of the Public Works Department's Environmental Operations Division and the Metropolitan Environmental Trust work together to provide this event.
