Goodbye “Little Blue”

The city has officially retired its “Little Blue” recycling bin. The new green large-cart recycling program will start in early July. That means for the month of June there is no recycling pick up.

Some options for recycling in June:
-Take materials to Waste Management Materials Recovery Facility, 5519 NW 4th
– Place clean recyclables in your green cart to be picked up in July when the new program begins.

As for “Little Blue”, the city is encouraging residents to keep it & re-purpose it into something useful. Some ideas would be to use it as a raised bed planter as it already has drainage holes, check with the Central OK Humane Society & see if they could use some more, storage bin, craft container, laundry basket, or I’ve seen the city recommend using it a water balloon holder! If you’re not interested in re-purposing it you could always see if a neighbor wants it or simply put it in your large green cart for the city to pick up.
