Special Refuse Services

Besides Basic Trash Service, the City of Tulsa offers several other options for refuse services. These include bulky waste pick-up, dead animal collection, and yard-waste drop-off.

Anti-Litter Campaigns
The City of Tulsa holds annual events to focus attention on anti-litter education and provide clean up of litter throughout the community.

Bulky Waste Service
To arrange for curbside pickup of large household-related items such as furniture and appliances, call 596-9777. Construction or demolition debris, excess yard waste, trees, stumps and automobiles are not accepted. Have your bulky waste item out within four feet of the traveled portion of the road by 6 a.m. on the day pick up is scheduled. Your item should be accessible from the road, and should not be obstructed by trees, power lines, parked cars, etc.

Dead Animal Collection
For more information or service on pickup of dead animals from streets and yards, call 596-9771.

Yard Waste Drop-off
City of Tulsa residents can drop off yard waste such as grass clippings, leaves and tree limbs free of charge. A current driver's license with a City of Tulsa address must be presented. (Commercial customers and residential customers living outside Tulsa city limits will be billed for this drop-off service.) In conjunction with the Yard Waste drop-off, the City also offers free wood chip pickup.

Other Collection and Disposal
For special waste disposal problems, such as construction debris, that cannot be resolved by these residential services, contact a licensed commercial hauler to determine the best disposal option. Haulers are listed under "Trash Hauling" in the yellow pages.
