Curbside Recycling Accepting More Paper Items, Containers
Tulsa's Curbside Recycling program is now more customer-
friendly and is accepting more recyclable materials than ever
before.
Curbside Recycling services are available to all City of Tulsa
residential trash customers. The program has previously collected
glass bottles and jars, plastics labeled No. 1 or No. 2, and
aluminum and tin cans. Newspapers, junk mail, mixed office paper
and magazines have been accepted, but now the City's recycling
contractor is also accepting many more paper items including:
- brown/white paper bags
- cereal and other paperboard boxes
- paper egg cartons (no Styrofoam)
- phone books
- paper milk and juice drink cartons
- ice cream and frozen food containers
- file folders
- greeting and index cards
- paper towel/toilet paper rolls
- soft-cover books
- notebooks
- notepads
- poster board
- soft-cover text books
- cardboard boxes (must be flattened and cut into 3 foot by 3
foot squares and placed under recycling bins for collection).
Also accepted now are spiral-wound containers like those that
contain nuts, stacked potato chips and other products. Lids
for those containers should be removed before placing them in the
recycling bins.
Tulsa trash customers can sign-up online for curbside recycling
by visiting the City's website at wwwtulsarecycles.com.
Service can also be started by calling (918) 596-9777.
