Due to winter weather, American Waste Control will adjust operations to prioritize safety.

Please leave carts at the curb. Any additional bagged household trash placed beside the cart will be collected at no additional charge, as conditions allow. Some areas may be inaccessible due to weather and road conditions. If we are unable to safely access your location, service may be delayed until your next scheduled service day next week.

Thank you in advance for your patience and understanding.

  • Commercial & Roll-Off: Select routes will operate on Monday based on safety.

Thank you for your patience as our teams work safely during winter weather.

If you experience any other issues, please log into your ePortal and use the “Account Request” feature. We appreciate your business.

🚨 Service Update – Saturday Clean-Up Efforts 🚨

We appreciate your patience as we continue working through this challenging week. Our crews are doing everything possible to catch up, and we want to provide an update:

    •    Residential Cleanup: We will be running additional routes on Saturday to service any missed customers. If your cart has not yet been collected, please leave it curbside, and we will do our best to service it.

    •    Commercial Cleanup: All commercial routes will also be running on Saturday as we work to get caught up.

If your residential service is still missed—whether due to road conditions or another factor—please set your cart out on your regular service day next week, including any extra bags outside the cart. We will collect everything at no additional charge.

Thank you for your patience and support. We know this has been a chaotic and difficult week, and we truly appreciate your understanding as we work to get everything back on track.

Our company tends to get a little sentimental around this time of year. Labor Day I’m meaning. We have the best employees, including our excellent drivers…bar none. Their loyalty and dedication are off the charts incredible, and, we want every AWC employee to know how proud we are of them.

Imagine rolling a 400 lb can in and out of a corral to empty it into your truck; now, imagine doing that a few thousand times per month.  That’s the hard work our drivers do.

We can’t help but be amazed.

Even when our drivers and staff have to come in on a holiday—no gripes, no grumbles. Just a get it done attitude and a 100% commitment to making us the best we can be. Rain, sleet, or snow—it doesn’t matter. They are always out there doing their job—lifting heavy garbage bins, providing staff support, and busting it daily to keep our city clean.

So, since Labor Day is a time of reflection and appreciation of the hardworking American Laborer—we want to say a special thanks to our employees who make our company what it is:

We cherish you more than you know. Thank you for making American Waste Control the best Waste to Energy Company in Tulsa. Our success is all because of you. And, our legacy is alive because of your dedication to giving our customers and community the best you have.

Happy Labor Day

A letter from Kenneth Burkett, founder, to employees.
