Tulsa bulk trash pickup: schedule, rules & how to schedule
Tulsa picks up bulky waste on your regular refuse, recycling and yard-waste day, but only if you schedule it at least three days ahead. There is a fee per 8 cubic yards.
By appointment
The bulky-waste fee is $10 per 8 cubic yards through September 30, 2026, and $20 per 8 cubic yards beginning October 1, 2026 (including each additional 8 cubic yards). If you cancel after noon the day before, or if items do not meet the rules, you can still be charged the scheduling fee.
How pickup works
| Type | Scheduled on your regular day, with a fee |
| Schedule | Schedule online (you will need your city utility customer ID and account number), through 311, or by emailing Tulsa311@cityoftulsa.org, at least three days before your regular collection day. Have items at the curb by 5 a.m. Cancel by noon the day before. Separate electronics, appliances and tires from other bulky waste — a second truck handles those. |
| Limits | Priced per 8 cubic yards. Small items a person can handle that weigh 40 pounds or less should go in a plastic bag with an orange or purple refuse sticker, in the regular refuse collection (up to 15 extra bags or bundles a week). DIY remodeling debris is limited to 1 cubic yard, separately containerized. |
| Cost | $10 per 8 cubic yards through September 30, 2026; $20 per 8 cubic yards beginning October 1, 2026. |
| Who is eligible | City of Tulsa utility customers. Small engines must have oil and gas removed. |
| How to set items out | At the curb by 5 a.m., not under power lines or trees, not blocked by vehicles, not over meters or utility boxes, and at least 3 feet from fences and carts. |
