Frugal Friday: October 5

This weekend is filled with food, art activities for the kids, festivals and a free place to dump your old junk.

Free Hazardous Waste Dump 

Looking to get rid of junk sitting around the house? You’re in luck! 

Saturday Oklahoma City residents can dump everything from old computers to tires, even old prescriptions and ammunition at State Fair Park.

From 9 a.m. to 1 p.m., you can bring up to a car load for free and they’ll even help unload it.

Just bring your water bill to show you’re a resident. 

Recyclers must bring their current Oklahoma City water bill stub to prove residency.

Syringes, liquids, inhalers, tire rims and wheels will not be accepted.

Businesses wanting to recycle hazardous waste should contact the Department of Environmental Quality at (405) 702-5100.
