Waste Management
We provide municipal collection of residential and commercial waste (trash) and recycling services for Stillwater and the surrounding area. Our collection programs are safe, efficient, cost-effective and environmentally responsible.
We’ve updated our waste collection notification tags! The new blue tags replace the old red ones and feature refined wording to explain why your trash may not have been collected. If you see a blue tag on your cart, please review it to address any issues for your next pickup. For questions, contact us at (405) 742-8269.
If you have questions about your service, contact Utility and Billing Services.
