City says there will be no prorating of bills due to delays in trash pickup

Last month’s unprecedented winter storm left many roads impassable and some residents without trash pickup for up to two weeks. Some of them took their trash to work for disposal. Many did not want to place extra bags of garbage outside, for fear of feral animals tearing them open.

A number of posts on local social media pages raised questions about pickup times and other aspects of the storm-related delays. The City of Sapulpa did update citizens via it’s own Facebook page, but a number of citizens said that these posts never showed up on their timelines, and local media was not apprised of the ongoing situation.
