Greenwaste Pick Up

Yard waste is organic or garden material such as leaves, grass, plants and branches. Tulsa's trash service makes yard waste removal simple.

The City will be conducting specialized greenwaste collection for residents impacted by the March 6 tornado. To receive collection, affected residents must be located within the affected damage zone (see map below) and contact 311 to receive service.

Citizens residing within this zone should contact 311 to schedule a pickup in one of the following ways:


Greenwaste Pick-up

To ensure collection, all greenwaste must be separated from other household trash and storm debris (storm debris can be handled separately via a free dump pass voucher - more below). Items such as tree stumps, roofing materials, and other trash are not eligible for this service and should not be included.

Residents scheduled for greenwaste pickup are reminded to place their greenwaste at the curb (not in the street), ensuring it is at least four feet away from other objects. All greenwaste must be cut into five-foot lengths. To prevent damage to infrastructure and ensure safety, greenwaste must not be placed on top of water meters, near fences, or under low-hanging power lines.


Storm Debris Dump Pass

In addition to greenwaste pickup, residents in the affected area may request one free dump pass by contacting 311. Following a request, City representatives will visit the property to verify that the debris is directly related to storm damage, such as roofing materials or fencing. 

If approved, residents will be responsible for delivering the debris to the location(s) specified on the dump pass or by 311.

Households are limited to one greenwaste pickup and/or one storm debris dump pass.

If it Fits, That's it
Any extra capacity in your primary trash cart can be used for bagged yard waste. If it fits with the lid completely closed, that's all you need to do. Yard waste can only be placed in your primary trash cart. Yard waste placed in additional carts will not be collected.

Bundle the Branches
For limbs and branches that don't loosely fit in your cart or a bag, tie them into bundles no more than 2-feet across and 4-feet long, and weighing less than 40 lbs.

Extra Green Waste That Doesn't fit in Your Cart and Can't Be Bundled
If you have extra green waste that doesn't fit in your cart and can't be bundled, bag it in a transparent bag and place it at the curb. Please leave three feet of space between your green waste and other objects. You may place a total of 15 bags and/or bundles of yard waste and/or refuse at the curb per week. Yard Waste outside of your refuse cart cannot exceed 40 pounds per bag or bundle.
