WINTER STORM SERVICE UPDATES - FEBRUARY 2025
For the safety of trash crews, trash service has been suspended through Thursday due to extreme temperatures and neighborhood street conditions.

Monday & Tuesday Trash Customers - Haulers will work to service your trash carts on Friday

Wednesday, Thursday & Friday Trash Customers - Haulers will work to service your trash carts on Saturday,

The bottom line: If your trash hasn’t been serviced this week, please leave your trash cart at the curb and crews will resume collection as soon as conditions allow.

If any trash cannot be picked up by Saturday, customers will be allowed to set out a reasonable amount of extra, bagged trash (similar to how much would normally fit in a trash bin), next to their gray trash cart on their regular service day next week. This extra trash DOES NOT need to be stickered.

The same can be said of recycling, which was canceled this week and will be picked up on your regular service day next week. Extra recyclables can be placed in a recyclable container (i.e. cardboard box) and set next to your blue recycling bin on your regular service day next week.

IMPORTANT NOTE: If you have extra trash and recyclables, please DO NOT intermingle them both into one pile, as doing so could result in your recycling not being picked up.

Please check back or follow the City on Facebook and X for service updates.

Tulsa's trash program offers several options to meet your refuse and recycling needs:

A 32, 64, or 96-gallon trash cart
Once- or twice-a-week pickup
Curbside, backyard (up to 100 feet from the curb) or extended backyard service (more than 100 feet from the curb).

Households may request a change in cart size at any time for a $13.92 fee. To change your cart size please email [email protected] or call 311 during regular business hours. You will need your utility account number.

Reminder, if you have curbside service, you must place your carts within four feet of the curb.

Disposing of Extra Refuse

To dispose of trash that does not fit inside the refuse cart:

Bag and seal extra trash and apply a refuse sticker to the bag so that it is visible to the hauler.
Set bagged trash three feet from your refuse cart by 5 a.m. on your collection day.
You can put out a total of 15 bags (refuse and/or greenwaste) a week at the curb
Additional refuse stickers may be purchased at area QuikTrip® locations, or at City Hall, 175 E. 2nd Street, Payment Center, Monday - Thursday, 7:30 a.m. - 5 p.m., Friday, 7:30 - Noon.
For large items that do not fit inside of the trash cart, such as an appliance, mattress or piece of furniture, call the City of Tulsa at 311 during regular business hours or email [email protected] to arrange for a Bulky Waste pickup. Learn more...
