Refresh For Fall: The City of Lawton Will Host a Community Cleanout On November 15

People usually get busy cleaning around springtime, but the City of Lawton is encouraging residents to consider a fall refresh! This November the City of Lawton and the Lawton Public Library will host a Community Cleanout for bulk items and gently-used clothing.

I love shopping, but I don't always have a lot of closet space to work with, and sometimes when doing my laundry, I come across items I haven't worn in a while! So I'll do a closet cleanout. I'll often take bags of clothes to work to share with my coworkers and then take the rest to Goodwill - if I remember!

There have been numerous occasions when I've left bags of clothes at work or in my car, and I know I'm not alone in this. And I know my family aren't the only ones with unused home items and trees that need to be trimmed before winter!

So having this Community Cleanout in the fall will be a great opportunity to go through my spring and summer clothing and clean up our yard before the cooler months.

Lawton's Community Cleanout is scheduled for Saturday, November 15.

The City of Lawton and the Lawton Public Library will host the Community Cleanout from 9 a.m. to noon on Saturday, November 15. Now is a great time to start going through your closets for gently used items and seeing if you have any bulk waste or large yard work jobs that need to be done before winter.

During the Community Cleanout, the Lawton Public Library will accept gently used clothing items that will benefit families in need. And the City of Lawton will collect bulk waste at Central Plaza. Bulk waste includes appliances, furniture, electronics, yard waste, used motor oil and unwanted medication.

More information about the Community Cleanout and a full list of accepted/non-accepted items is available on the City of Lawton's official website.
