OKC's Household Hazardous Waste Ctr. set to close for 30 days
OKLAHOMA CITY (KFOR) – Starting February 11, the Household Hazardous Waste Collection Center will temporarily close for maintenance, says City leaders.
The center is scheduled to re-open March 13.
According to the City, the maintenance is needed as floors will be refinished with a protective coating, which prevents the migration of hazardous chemicals through the Center's concrete flooring. Additionally, the upkeep is for safety of employees and the protection of the environment.
'Generally, the floor coating must be replaced every 10 years, and we have exceeded the effective life of the current coating,' Household Hazardous Waste Collection Center Manager Lyndel Gibson said.

The facility closure will also focus on crew rooms, offices and public spaces to be updated.
'As all facility services will be unavailable during this time, we ask residents to please collect and save all their household hazardous waste until the facility reopens to the public in March,' Environmental Protection Superintendent Derek Johnson said.
