OKLAHOMA CITY, Ok ( KFOR ) — Monday, January 6, marks the third and final round of storm debris pickup for those impacted by the November tornados. Now, the city is sharing some last-minute reminders about clean-up to ensure the process goes smoothly.
“We needed to give some of these folks a little bit more time to get items out of the curb and so we suspended after our second round in mid-December and then wanted to give everyone a break for the holidays,” said Jennifer McClintock, Public Information Office Oklahoma City Utilities Department.

Jennifer McClintock with the Utilities Department said to make sure water and gas meters are clear so nothing gets damaged during pick up.
“If they have tree damage or limbs, that those all need to be cut into sections ten feet long or shorter,” said McClintock.
Hazardous items also have a special place.
“Those need to be taken to that household hazardous waste facility on Southeast 15th and Portland, approximately. We don’t want those in our trash trucks,” said McClintock.
