Tulsa offers bulk item pickup for residents through its Refuse and Recycling services. Large items that don't fit in standard carts can be scheduled for curbside collection. The city also operates a transfer station for bulky items.
Residents can schedule bulk item pickups by calling 311 or using the city's online request system. Accepted items include furniture, appliances, mattresses, and other large household items. There may be limits on the number of items per pickup. Electronics and hazardous waste are not accepted through bulk pickup. The city operates the Tulsa Authority for Recovery of Energy (TARE) facility. Illegal dumping is prohibited and enforced.
Illegal dumping of bulk items violates city ordinances and state law. Penalties include fines and potential criminal charges. Leaving bulk items at the curb without scheduling pickup may result in code enforcement action.
