Tonight we're gonna present you the annual update for the department with some pilots who think uh you'll be very proud of this evening.

Do I have a click?

Oh wow.

You have control.

One thing we love to pride ourselves about is our commitment that we make to over 40,000 residents that we service every single week, and that is providing exceptional solid waste recycling and customer service services in a responsive, caring manner with emphasis on safety while leading for the professional attitude.

It shines through every member of our department and is our promise to uphold these values every week to our customers.

This past year we collected almost 39,000 tons of trash from uh over 5400 uh recycled materials.

To put that in perspective, that is uh 6,653 elephants of materials collected in 2025.

We continue to provide some exceptional service throughout our seasonal peaks, particularly in uh July and uh December.

As you can see up on the screen right now, we have some hard little comments that we have received from some of our residents that we wanted to include up on there.

And uh, we also use a lot of data we collect from our routes.

Uh we try to improve our efficiency and uh just continue to upon our services uh quite a bit more.

Oh, you got it.

Okay.

This past year, our department has seen a lot of team growth with the creation of five new positions focused on improving our customer service, team leadership, and safety protocols.

In the first two pictures, we can see our two new customer service clerks, Kate Watts and Laura Weber, who were added to better meet the needs of our growing customer base.

Next, we have our two new assistant managers, Ryan Fields and Delane O Barnett, uh, in conjunction with our pre-existing supervisor promoted to assistant manager, Scotty Williams.

This team works together to provide growth to our field staff through coaching sessions and they manage day-to-day operations to ensure that our residents get the gold star service that they deserve.

Finally, we have our new solid waste and recycling training and safety specialist, Carl Blank.

Try saying that five times really fast, who is added to implement new training programs and identify new safety goals for our department.

Next, we have our feet and equipment improvements.

We've had our department has had some major fleet and equipment improvements with the addition of 12 new assisted side loading vehicles for our both refuse and recycling services.

These trucks are designed to improve both route times and to protect protect our drivers from the harsh and unpredictable Oklahoma elements.
