What Tulsa collects, and what you do with the rest
Every city route below is capped. Read the last two columns first: they decide whether the city takes your load at all, or only part of it.
| Route | What it costs | How much it takes | The condition |
|---|---|---|---|
| Booked city collection | Ten dollars per eight cubic yards collected, and another ten for each additional eight cubic yards. The city has published an increase: from October 1, 2026 both figures become twenty dollars. | Remodelling debris only counts if you did the work yourself at the address being served, and it has to be containerised and under one cubic yard in total. There is a limit of four monitors or televisions, four tires without rims, and ten gallons of latex paint. Large yard waste has to be cut under six feet long and under eighteen inches across. | Large items that do not fit inside your refuse cart, and yard waste too big to bundle for the regular hauler. |
| Hire a hauler | You pay — quotes come from local companies bidding against each other. | No item cap and no wrapping, residency or vehicle rule. | They carry it out; nothing has to reach the curb under its own steam. |
Booking a city pickup
Large items that do not fit inside your refuse cart, and yard waste too big to bundle for the regular hauler.
- How many items
- Remodelling debris only counts if you did the work yourself at the address being served, and it has to be containerised and under one cubic yard in total. There is a limit of four monitors or televisions, four tires without rims, and ten gallons of latex paint. Large yard waste has to be cut under six feet long and under eighteen inches across.
- How to book
- Book online — you will need your City utility Customer ID and account number — or call 311, or email the city. Schedule at least three days before your pickup day; orders are worked in the order they arrive, and collection happens on your regular refuse day. Cancelling means calling before noon the day before, otherwise the charge lands on your account anyway.
- What it costs
- Ten dollars per eight cubic yards collected, and another ten for each additional eight cubic yards. The city has published an increase: from October 1, 2026 both figures become twenty dollars.
- Good to know
- Bulky waste is at the curb by 5 a.m. — not under power lines or trees, not over water meters, gas meters, telephone boxes or cable boxes, not within three feet of a fence or of your carts, and with no vehicle parked in the way. Appliances go out empty, small engines drained of oil and gas, and electronics, appliances and tires are separated from everything else because two different trucks come for them. Anything one person can handle at forty pounds or less belongs in a bagged sticker pickup on the regular route instead, and yard waste tied into four-by-two-foot bundles or see-through bags rides along with regular collection, up to fifteen extra bags or bundles a week.
Or have someone take it
City routes are cheap but slow, and they all assume you can get the item to the curb yourself. If it is upstairs, if it is heavy, or if you need it gone this week, a local pro is the faster answer.
