Summary

Broken Arrow's trash service covers normal household and yard waste at the standard rate, but bulky items like furniture are picked up for an added charge under § 12-25(c).

(c)All domestic solid waste, recycling and yard waste shall be picked up by the city's trash collection service at the normal rate established in the Manual of Fees. Up to a maximum of ten bags of yard waste will be picked up as a part of the normal service. As used herein, a "bag of yard waste" includes a clear 30-gallon capacity bag and filled to a level allowing the bag to be tied shut. A "bag of yard waste" shall also include a bundle of limbs or other such brush, tied together so as not to exceed one foot in diameter for the bundle and cut in lengths not to exceed four feet. Should more than ten clear bags of yard waste be placed at the curb for pickup, such yard waste will be picked up for an extra charge as set forth in the Manual of Fees. Items not amounting to normal domestic waste or yard waste will be picked up for an extra charge as bulky waste as set forth in the Manual of Fees.

Full Breakdown

Section 12-25(c) of the Broken Arrow Code confirms domestic solid waste, recycling, and yard waste are collected at the normal rate set in the city's Manual of Fees, with up to ten 30-gallon bags of yard waste included free per collection. Anything that doesn't count as normal household or yard waste, furniture, appliances, and similar large items, is picked up as bulky waste for an extra charge, also set by the Manual of Fees. The city won't take hazardous waste, vehicles, machinery, or waste generated somewhere other than the pickup address, per § 12-25(e). The scout pointer's cite of § 12-24(c) was checked and covers unrelated operational rules, not bulky-item limits, so this row cites § 12-25(c) instead.

Violations & Fines

There's no outright ban on bulky items, only an added fee under § 12-25(c); waste trucked in from another address or hazardous materials set out for pickup instead violate § 12-25(e).
