Tulsa TARE offers bulk waste pickup by appointment through 311 for furniture, mattresses, and appliances. Refrigerant appliances require freon removal certificate. Unincorporated county residents use private hauler bulk service or haul to Tulsa Recycle & Transfer.
Tulsa TARE schedules bulk-item collection by appointment through Tulsa 311 or the city app, typically with 7-10 day lead time. Eligible items include sofas, mattresses, dressers, water heaters, washers/dryers, stoves, and refrigerators/freezers/AC units (with certified freon removal documentation attached). Limit: 4 cubic yards per pickup; larger piles require a special haul fee of $50 to $150. Excluded: construction debris (drywall, lumber, concrete), hazardous waste (paint, batteries, pesticides, used oil), electronics/e-waste, tires, and yard waste over 8-foot limb length. Tulsa operates the Household Pollutant Collection Facility at 4502 S. Galveston Ave for free drop-off of hazmat and e-waste for residents with ID. Unincorporated Tulsa County residents haul bulk items to Tulsa Recycle & Transfer (2112 S. Jackson Ave) or the Quarry Landfill (Bixby) at commercial dump rates. TCSO aggressively enforces 27A OK Stat §2-10-401 against roadside dumping — drone and game-camera surveillance common on rural county roads.
Bulk items placed out before scheduled date: $50 to $200 code enforcement citation under TRO §23-121. Unmarked freon appliance: pickup refused plus $100 re-scheduling fee. Illegal dumping on county roads: $500 to $5,000 and potential felony under 27A OK Stat §2-10-401 for loads over 500 pounds.
