Oklahoma County trash bin rules set by municipal solid waste ordinances. Oklahoma City Β§41-62 and OKC Public Works rules require residents to store trash and recycling carts out of public view between collection days β behind privacy fences, in garages, on the side of the house screened by landscaping, or behind the building line. Bins visible from the street are a property maintenance violation. Single-family residents receive one 96-gallon trash cart and one 96-gallon recycling cart provided by OKC Public Works (no separate fee β included in $24.09 monthly utility bill). Carts may be placed at the curb no earlier than 6 PM the day before collection and must be retrieved by 9 AM the day after. Bin lids must close fully β overflowing is a violation. Extra trash beyond cart capacity requires bulky item pickup or OKC drop-off. Commercial dumpsters have separate screening requirements β masonry enclosures with opaque gates matching building architecture required in most commercial zones under OKC Β§59-9320. Multifamily properties must provide adequate trash enclosures with cart counts sufficient for occupancy. Bulky waste collection requires scheduling 48 hours in advance β unscheduled bulky items at curb cited as illegal dumping. Edmond Code Β§26-12 and Midwest City Code Β§34-22 follow similar rules. HOAs in newer subdivisions impose stricter bin storage rules.
Bins left at curb after 9 AM post-collection: $25 warning first offense, $50-$100 repeat. Bins visible from street: property maintenance notice, $50-$200 fines if not corrected. Overflowing/improperly prepared trash: refused collection, re-set fees. Illegal dumping (bulky items without schedule): $100-$500 plus removal costs.
