Neighborhood Dumpster Program
The City of Tulsa's Neighborhood Dumpster Program is a service
available to registered neighborhood groups to perform neighborhood
clean-up activities. Please understand that the City of Tulsa
has only one driver and one truck to set and pick up the dumpsters
for the entire city. Participating groups can twice annually make
use of 10' x 25' x 6' containers to dispose of eligible household
items.
