Tulsa offers voluntary curbside recycling through TARE's blue cart program with biweekly pickup. Accepted: paper, cardboard, aluminum, steel cans, plastics #1 and #2. Glass NOT accepted curbside — must go to M.e.t. drop-off centers.
Tulsa recycling is voluntary — Oklahoma has no state recycling mandate. TARE provides a 96-gallon blue cart on biweekly rotation for single-family homes. Accepted materials per the Metropolitan Environmental Trust (M.e.t.) processing agreement: mixed paper (newspaper, magazines, junk mail, office paper), cardboard (flattened), aluminum cans, steel/tin cans, and plastic bottles/jugs marked #1 (PET) and #2 (HDPE). NOT accepted curbside: glass, plastic bags, plastic films, #3-#7 plastics, Styrofoam, food-contaminated containers, shredded paper (unless bagged), or electronics. Glass recycling requires drop-off at one of 16 M.e.t. recycling centers including 2122 S. Jackson Ave, 1620 E. 11th St, and 4502 S. Galveston Ave. Contaminated blue carts are tagged and skipped. Unincorporated Tulsa County has no curbside recycling program; residents use M.e.t. drop-off centers (free to all Tulsa County residents). Multi-family properties over 50 units may contract voluntarily with Republic Services or WM for commercial recycling but are not required to.
Contaminated cart tagged and skipped until next cycle. Repeat contamination: $25 to $100 fine under TRO §23-125. No fine for not recycling — the program is voluntary.
