Tulsa regulates trash container storage and placement through its property maintenance and nuisance ordinances. Trash bins must be stored appropriately when not set out for collection. The city provides standardized carts for curbside pickup through its solid waste services.
Tulsa provides 96-gallon carts for trash and recycling. Carts should be placed at the curb no earlier than 6 PM the day before collection and retrieved by 7 AM the day after. Bins must not block sidewalks or street traffic. When not set out for collection, carts should be stored out of view from the street. Overflowing containers and loose trash constitute nuisance violations.
Bins left at the curb beyond allowed timeframes or stored visibly from the street may result in code enforcement notices. Repeated violations lead to fines. Overflowing containers are nuisance violations subject to citation.
