Oklahoma’s Only Cobblestone Town
Medicine Park sits about 15 miles northwest of Lawton, on State Highway 49 just west of Interstate 44, right at the foothills of the Wichita Mountains. It’s known as America’s first cobblestone community, since many of its original buildings were built from the same red granite stones found throughout the surrounding hills.
The town has a colorful history. It was founded in 1908 by Elmer Thomas, a young lawyer who went on to become one of Oklahoma’s first U.S. senators. He built it as a resort and health spa along Medicine Creek, whose waters Plains Indian communities had long valued. Bath Lake, formed by damming the creek, became a popular swimming spot. By the 1920s and 1930s Medicine Park had grown into a well known getaway. It drew everyone from Fort Sill officers to touring musicians like Bob Wills and the Texas Playboys.

Real Concerns Medicine Park Property Owners Have
Worried a dumpster will affect your rental listing photos during peak season?
Cabins and cottages often operate as short-term rentals, so appearance can matter. We can discuss placement that keeps the container away from the main view from the street, porch, or common guest areas. Delivery can also be planned around guest turnover when scheduling allows.
Not sure whether the historic district affects your project?
Parts of Medicine Park are associated with historic preservation considerations, and property owners may have questions about what rules apply to their work. A dumpster placed on private property is generally different from making a structural or exterior change, but if you’re unsure about a particular location, checking with the town before booking can help avoid problems.
Limited parking or yard space?
Some cabin and cottage properties have smaller lots with limited room for a dumpster. Before delivery, tell us about your driveway, yard, parking area, or business lot. We can help determine which container and placement option makes the most sense.
For properties where space is especially tight, a smaller dumpster may be easier to place and load safely.
Dumpster Sizes for Medicine Park Projects
10 yard dumpster
A small cleanout, a single cabin room, or light yard debris.
15 yard dumpster
Our most requested size for cottage or cabin remodels and standard property cleanouts.
20 yard dumpster
Best for a full property cleanout, a larger remodel, or a storefront renovation.
30 yard dumpster and larger
Available for bigger renovation or construction projects, with site access confirmed before delivery given the town’s narrower streets.
If you’re not sure what size fits your project, tell us what you’re clearing out and we’ll recommend one instead of steering you toward the biggest option.
Protecting Cobblestone Streets and Historic Properties
Medicine Park’s character is one of the things that makes the community unique. Narrow cobblestone streets, older buildings, tight lots, and historic properties can require more thoughtful dumpster placement than a typical suburban delivery.
Our drivers take the delivery area into account when positioning a container. We’ll discuss the best available location with you before delivery, whether that means a driveway, private parking area, side access point, or another suitable location.
For Dumpster Rental Medicine Park projects near the historic core, giving us accurate information about your property and access area helps make delivery smoother.
Protecting Cobblestone Streets and Historic Properties
Medicine Park’s narrow cobblestone streets and closely set lots near the historic core need more careful placement than a typical suburban delivery. Our drivers take extra time positioning the truck around tight turns and older stonework, and we’ll talk through the best spot for your property before we ever show up, whether that’s a small pull-off near a cabin or a loading area behind a Cobblestone Row storefront.
Need a Dumpster in Medicine Park on Short Notice?
Cabin turnovers between renters, a storm coming off the Wichita Mountains, or a storefront that suddenly needs cleared out before a busy tourist weekend don’t always allow for advance planning. If your timeline is tight, tell us when you call. We’ll check what’s available on our schedule and give you a straight answer. Same day delivery isn’t guaranteed every time in a town with streets this tight, but we’ll always be upfront about what’s realistic.
