Everyone has old household chemicals and items that really don't just belong in the normal trash. Our event, TOO TOXIC TO TRASH, gives Newcastle residents a chance to safely dispose of these items. SOME OF THE ACCEPTED ITEMS INCLUDE (but are not limited to): Oil-based paints (NO LATEX), tires, pesticides and herbicides, fuels and oils, cleaning supplies, sharps (needles and syringes), batteries and lightbulbs, aerosol products, and expired and unused medication. We're also working with the Tri-City Hope Center with a FOOD DRIVE to collect non-perishable food items! TOO TOXIC TO TRASH, Saturday, Jun 7 at 8 AM, 400 NW 32nd Street!

From the City Manager's Office: To remind all residents and businesses, as part of the water agreement with the City of Oklahoma City, Newcastle is required to adhere to an odd/even watering schedule year around. This includes sprinkler systems and hand-watering. If your address ends in an odd number, you may water on odd numbered calendar days. If your address ends in an even number, you may water on even numbered calendar days. The heat of the summer will be upon us in just a few weeks. Please follow the required schedule by adjusting your sprinkler systems and only hand-watering on your designated odd/even calendar days. Wishing you and your family a fun and safe summer! Thank you.
