Recycling
Curbside recycling is picked up every other week on
a set day. In September 2010, customers will receive a letter from
the City that includes a card which lists actual collection days
through December. This map shows the ten routes, by week (Route 1 or
2) and by day of the week.
Why Recycle?
Recycling conserves natural resources, protects the environment
and reduces litter. It's easy for all Tulsans to recycle. All City
of Tulsa customers with residential trash service can sign
up for convenient curbside recycling. Items eligible for
recycling include:
| newspapers |
junk mail |
| magazines |
office paper |
| aluminum |
glass |
| plastics (labeled 1 and 2) |
Important Questions:
Once I have signed up for city recycling, when should I
expect delivery of my recycle bin?
The recycle bin should be delivered on your next scheduled service
day.
What do I do with my recyclables while waiting for the
delivery of my recycle bin?
You may place recyclables in bags or boxes that are marked or
tagged "recycle." Paper should be contained and marked in a
separate container.
Tulsans also can take these items and other recyclables to one
of the 12 free drop-off sites in the area operated by the
Metropolitan Environmental Trust. Some additional materials can be
recycled at M.e.t. depots. Visit the Met website for more info, www.metrecycle.com.
Also, you can recycle many household pollutants at one of the
twice annual Household Pollutant Collection events, usually held in
mid-April and mid-October.
