Full Breakdown
Bulky items like furniture, appliances, mattresses, and tree limbs and brush too large for curbside yard waste don't go out with regular trash in Tulsa: a resident must contact the city to schedule a bulky waste collection, and the city charges a fee for the pickup. Under Tulsa Revised Ordinances, Title 11-B, § 206, the load is capped at eight cubic yards, materials must be stacked neatly at least three feet from carts, utility poles, meters, fences, mailboxes, hydrants, trees, and parked cars, and items strewn about or loosely piled won't be collected. Bulky waste can't be set out at a backyard-service address; it must be placed within four feet of the curb.
Violations & Fines
Materials placed in the street, an alley, on a sidewalk, or a vacant lot without Director approval, or piled loosely instead of stacked, will not be picked up.
