Residents encouraged to report neglected signs
June 1, 2009
(March 4, 2009) - City Council is asking citizens to help fight urban blight by reporting dilapidated roadside business signs to the City’s Action Center.
The City’s sign ordinance was strengthened in November, giving property owners who have been cited for a violation 30 days to bring their sign into compliance. Those who do not comply could receive a citation.
Signs that are damaged, deteriorated, defaced, abandoned, illegible or no longer advertise the business on the property could be in violation of the ordinance.
To report a dilapidated sign, call the Action Center at 297-2535 or submit a request online at www.okc.gov. Customer service representatives will need the address of the dilapidated sign.
“Neglected signs are not only an eyesore, but they contribute to the deterioration of our business districts and neighborhoods,” said Planning Director Russell Claus. “Removing these nuisances will go a long way to beautifying Oklahoma City.”
Saturday Morning Sweep
June 1, 2009
Saturday Morning Sweep is a cleanup event
that residents can hold in their
neighborhoods.This is a great way to clean up
litter, overgrowth, illegal dumping and storm
debris from common areas, easements,
greenbelts and medians.
Neighborhood associations may schedule a Saturday Morning Sweep once a year between
April and September. The cleanup day is free of charge and offered by the Solid Waste
Management Division.
On the day of the event, a collection crew will deliver a commercial dumpster between 7 a.m.
to 8 a.m. The neighborhood provides the volunteers. Around noon, the crew picks up the
filled dumpster and takes it to the landfill. The city pays the disposal fees.
To hold a Saturday Morning Sweep, the neighborhood must be in Oklahoma City and should
recruit at least 15 volunteers. We ask that one neighbor serve as the contact and monitor the
cleanup. We will not accept personal household trash, appliances containing Freon,
household hazardous waste or tires with the Saturday Morning Sweep collection.
To schedule a Saturday Morning Sweep for your neighborhood, please return the request form
as soon as possible. Saturday Morning Sweeps are scheduled on a first-come, first served
basis.
