Debris Pick-Up Program

Purpose of the Program:

The City of Dewey shall provide a scheduled residential debris pick up service for citizens within the corporate limits of the City of Dewey, Oklahoma. This service shall be for the purpose of collecting and disposing of debris such as junk furniture, appliances, small tree limbs, and other items that are not appropriate for regular solid waste collection. 

Debris Pick-up Guidelines:

1. Residents of the City of Dewey may schedule a debris pick up at City Hall.
2. This service is for residential use only (no businesses).
3. Debris pick up day shall be on a Wednesday.
4. Load weight may not exceed 1,000 lbs.
5. Debris must fit in an 8’ truck bed.
6. Debris pick ups shall be scheduled on a first come first serve basis.
7. Debris must be placed on the curb or in the alley. City workers shall not be permitted to enter private property for debris collection.
8. Any item or substance prohibited by any regulatory agency will be refused.
9. Debris shall not be placed in alley or curbside more than 24 hours before scheduled pick up time.
10. Garbage and trash is prohibited.  Items exposed to bedbugs are prohibited.
11. Construction debris is prohibited.
12. The cost for such service shall be $100.00 and must be paid at time of scheduling.
13. If any of the above guidelines are not met the city reserves the right to refuse service.

All pickups will be inspected by Code Enforcement prior to scheduling the service. This is to determine how many pickups will be needed (if all the debris can be collected in one trip, or if two trips are needed), or if the items needed picked up are allowed items.

Tree limbs cut into 4-foot lengths and tied into manageable bundles may be put out with your regular trash pick up.  If the tree limbs you have to dispose of are too large, they will not be picked up using the Debris Pick Up Service, as they usually exceed the 1,000 pound limit.
