Tulsa County unincorporated areas use private-hauler subscription service — no county-wide pickup. City of Tulsa (Title 22) requires bins out of public view except within 24 hours of collection. Typical fines $25-100. HOAs often impose stricter storage rules.
Tulsa County has no county-operated curbside trash service in unincorporated areas — residents contract with private haulers (Waste Management, American Waste Control, Republic Services) on a subscription basis. County Code offers limited regulation: Title 42 §45.040 addresses general property maintenance and prohibits accumulation of refuse creating health hazards. City of Tulsa Refuse Code Title 22 §100 (administered by Tulsa Refuse Division) provides weekly curbside pickup included with utility bill. Tulsa requires bins to be placed at curb no earlier than 6 PM the night before collection and retrieved by midnight of collection day (§22-105). Bins must be stored out of public view except during this window — typically behind a fence, in the garage, or on the side of the house screened from street. Bin lids must close fully; overflowing trash creates nuisance violations. Broken Arrow, Jenks, Owasso, Bixby, and Sand Springs operate similar municipal or contracted services with 24-hour placement/retrieval windows. HOAs (prevalent in south Tulsa County) often impose stricter rules — bins screened at all times, specific placement orientation, uniform bin colors. Illegal dumping (a major concern in unincorporated Tulsa County rural roads) is a misdemeanor under Oklahoma Title 21 §1761.1 with fines up to $5,000 and 1 year jail. Bulky items require separate scheduled pickup or haul to county convenience centers.
Tulsa City: first offense warning, then $25-100 per violation under Title 22. Repeat violations: code enforcement escalation under Title 24 property-maintenance code. Unincorporated county: nuisance citations under Title 42 §45.040 range $100-500. Illegal dumping: Title 21 §1761.1 misdemeanor, fines up to $5,000 plus cleanup costs. HOA fines: $25-200 per occurrence enforceable under Title 60 §852.
