Tulsa opens a year round facility for disposing of those environmentally damaging household pollutants. The permanent facility will replace those twice a year collection events at the fairgrounds. It’s been a long-time coming, according to the city of Tulsa’s Roy Teeters. He says people were dumping oil and grease down drains, in storm sewers, and elsewhere damaging the environment.
Household pollutants like paint, oil, and grease may be dropped off at the collection facility at 4502 South Galveston every Wednesday and Saturday from 8am until 4:30pm. It’s free for Tulsa residents.
