City Reminder: Ice Storm Tree Debris Cleanup

The City has sent out a reminder to Ponca City residents that City crews will begin Residential curb side ice storm tree debris pick up November 23, 2020.  Please have your ice storm tree debris placed at the curb.  This process will take several weeks to accomplish.

As the City transitions to the Residential curb side pick-up of the ice storm tree debris, it will be necessary to close the Unity Gym ice storm tree debris drop-off site effective Sunday, November 15, 2020 at 5:00 p.m. The Dan Moran Park drop-off site WILL REMAIN OPEN as an ice storm tree debris drop-off site.

The City of Ponca City will collect Residential ICE STORM TREE DEBRIS ONLY (no fee):

• Tree limbs must be cut into sections no longer than 8 feet.
• Tree limbs must be placed at the curb (not in the street, nor on sidewalks) and away from obstructions like poles, mail boxes, overhead wires, trees, and irrigation systems etc.  Do not place ice storm tree debris in alleyways, so alleyways are not blocked for utility access.
• TREE LIMBS MUST BE PLACED AT THE CURB BEFORE MONDAY, NOVEMBER 23 TO BE COLLECTED.  Crews will only make one pass through a neighborhood to collect debris, so it must be AT THE CURB when they arrive.  Crews will ONLY pick up ice storm tree debris located AT THE CURB.
