Tulsa requires trash and recycling bins to be placed at the curb with lids closed for collection and returned to storage promptly after pickup. Carts must not block sidewalks, mailboxes, or traffic when set out for collection.
Carts should be placed at the curb with lids closed and handles facing the house. Adequate clearance between carts is needed for automated collection. Carts must be at least three feet from obstacles including other carts, mailboxes, utility poles, and parked cars. Bins should be placed out by 7 AM on collection day and retrieved by 7 AM the day after. When stored, carts should not be visible from the street.
Improperly placed carts may result in missed collection. Carts left at the curb beyond the allowed period are subject to code enforcement notices. Blocking sidewalks or mailboxes with carts is a violation.
