The City of Lawton and LETA (Lawton Enhancement Trust Authority) has just announced that they've scheduled and will be hosting Lawton's annual "Trash-Off" this Saturday, April 30th (04-30-22) from 9:00-am until 2:00-pm in Elmer Thomas Park. It can be accessed off Cache Road or at NW 6th Street and Ferris Avenue. During the event, you'll be able to drop off various items and garbage that you can't place in your regular trash can for pick up. It's just in time for Spring cleaning. So set up a reminder so you don't miss it!

So what kind of trash and garbage can you drop off and dispose of during the annual "Trash-Off" event? They'll be accepting used oil from cars and trucks, paint cans that have oil-based and or latex paint, automotive batteries, rechargeable and alkaline batteries, antifreeze, automotive tires, appliances, fire extinguishers, and more. They'll even take furniture if it can be reused or it's too damaged and torn up. So if you have items like these and have been stockpiling them in your garage or shed and what to dispose of them, you can finally get rid of them safely and responsibly during Lawton's annual "Trash-Off."

The annual "Trash-Off" is more than just dropping off trash and unwanted materials. There's the community clean-up that day as well. Several local businesses, civic organizations, churches, schools, and citizens will be out picking up trash all over Lawton, Fort Sill.
