Get ready, Lawton! The city is rolling out its annual Trash Off event on May 2, promising a day of decluttering and community spirit. From 8 a.m. to 2 p.m., residents can bid farewell to their unwanted items for free, just by proving their residency. So, if you’ve been hoarding that old rusty bicycle or an inexplicably large collection of mismatched socks, now’s your chance to lighten the load!
But hold on, non-residents; don’t let that stop you! You’re invited to join the cleanup fun for a modest $25 fee. With the city encouraging volunteer groups to tackle neighborhood cleanups, this event isn’t just about throwing away junk—it’s about fostering a sense of civic pride and getting your neighbors involved.
Whether you come with trash bags in hand or you’re just there for the social interaction, this Trash Off is a great way to connect with the community. So rally your family, grab some gloves, and let’s make Lawton a little brighter—one piece of junk at a time. Because, let’s be honest, who couldn’t use an excuse to declutter and share a laugh with friends?
