October 16, 2026: read the city’s news post (posted August 4, 2026; Phillips 66 lot at South Ave. and Oak St.; old paint and solvents) and its flyer image (Saturday, October 24, 2026, 9 a.m.–1 p.m.; enter from Oak St.; no commercial disposal; accepted and refused items; 580-767-0411), the Solid Waste Collection, Recycling & Landfill page (store chemicals until the every-other-year collection day; recycling center and landfill details) and the city FAQ (landfill at 2501 W. Riverview Road turns away hazardous materials). Checked Oklahoma DEQ’s fact sheet, Tulsa’s guest-community list and PaintCare’s listing (Ponca City households; no containers over 5 gallons; listed at 1000 S Pine St). Peer review October 16, 2026: flyer read visually and matches; quickAnswer now leads with the year-round Tulsa option, and the October 24 day is worded as “set for” so it stays true afterward. Read Oklahoma City’s page in the in-app browser (its list of outside towns doesn’t include Ponca City). The 1000 S Pine St address comes only from PaintCare. Unresolved: whether people outside the city limits can come, whether a fee applies (none listed), whether dried latex can go in city trash (no city source found), and the date after 2026. After October 24, 2026, reword the 2026 day in the past tense.
Checked October 16, 2026 against these sources, not by phone. How we research.
