It seems rain, snow or even a pandemic will not stop a nearly 100-year-old Christmas tradition in Tulsa, OK.
As Vice President of American Waste Control (AWC), Paul Ross leads the day-to-day operations of AWC’s fleet of 185 trucks, as well as playing a key role in the company’s recycling initiatives and renewable-energy landfill. He is also one of this year’s Waste360 40 Under 40 winners and serves as president of the board for the Tulsa Christmas Parade, a long-running and beloved community event.
Waste360 recently had the chance to talk with Ross about this year’s unique parade, AWC’s involvement in it and more. (Plus, he shared some great photos of the 2020 Tulsa Christmas Parade!)

With snow looming in the forecast and a cold wind whipping down Boston Avenue, the Tulsa Christmas Parade took to its traditional route through the heart of downtown.
But for the first time, Santa Claus didnât roll through to close out the show. Instead, he and the Grinch waved goodbye from the corner at 3rd and Boston atop the sleigh, watching car loads of waving Tulsans roll by.
COVID-19 made the traditional parade impossible, with sidewalks packed with onlookers on a cold December afternoon. To limit crowds but keep the parade possible, organizers set up floats, stages and Santa himself along the street, letting hundreds of cars slow-roll through.
