Oklahoma City provides curbside trash collection through OKC Utilities. Residential customers receive weekly trash and recycling pickup. Carts must be placed at the curb with handles facing the house and lids closed by 6 AM on collection day. The cart must be at least 3 feet from any obstruction including mailboxes, vehicles, and other carts.
Oklahoma City contracts with waste haulers or operates municipal trash collection on a weekly schedule. Residents receive assigned pickup days. Bins must be placed curbside by the designated morning time, typically 6 to 7 AM. Holiday delays shift pickup one day. Contaminated recycling bins may be skipped. Oversized or overweight bins will not be collected. Contact Oklahoma City public works for schedule changes or missed pickup reports.
Failure to follow schedule may result in missed pickup. Repeated violations of bin rules may incur $50 to $200 fines from code enforcement.
