Tulsa provides weekly curbside trash and recycling collection through its Refuse and Recycling division. Residents receive standardized carts for trash and recycling. Collection schedules are based on neighborhood zones with specific pickup days.
Residential customers receive a 96-gallon trash cart and a 96-gallon recycling cart. Collection occurs weekly on assigned days. Carts must be placed at the curb by 7 AM on collection day with lids closed. Extra trash beyond cart capacity can be placed in bags beside the cart on collection day. The city also provides seasonal leaf collection. Hazardous waste and electronics are not accepted in regular pickup and must go to designated collection events.
Failure to place carts properly may result in missed collection. Placing prohibited items (hazardous waste, electronics) in carts may result in refusal of service. Bins must be retrieved promptly after collection.
