The City of Tulsa is stepping up its game to make sure every resident can trash their trash, without exception – because getting rid of waste shouldn't be a pain for anyone. They've already got a regular system for waste collection that trucks through the city, but they've rolled out something special for folks who can't haul their bins to the curb due to physical limitations or disabilities.
Public Works is the department behind this push, because, when you think about it, tossing out garbage isn't just about keeping your house clean; it's a basic city service that should be within everyone's reach, and now they're reminding everyone that if you're stuck on how to get your bins out on collection day, they've got you covered with a weekly pickup service that comes right to your backyard, and they're doing it for the same price as the standard curbside pickup, according to the City of Tulsa service's announcement.
To get in on this, Tulsa residents with a medically verified disability have to do a little paperwork; there's a form they need to snag online, fill out, and then mail it over to the Public Works folks at 2317 S. Jackson Ave., and boom, you're all set for the easy-breezy convenience of having your refuse taken care of without the strain of dragging bins to the curb.
This isn't just about convenience, it's about safety too; trash piles up, and getting rid of it shouldn't put someone's health at risk – something the City of Tulsa gets, and when it comes down to it, eligible residents should hit up this program as the city encourages taking advantage of every ounce of support available to make their lives easier, and it’s just one of the ways Tulsa is showing they're here for all their residents, the Tulsa Public Works Department conveyed in their service announcement.
