How to Dispose of a Mattress in Oklahoma City, OK
Every way to get rid of a mattress in Oklahoma City side by side — what each costs, how much it takes at once, and the condition that decides whether it is actually collected.
Every route out of Oklahoma City, and what each one actually asks of you
Free and unconditional are not the same thing. Each of these routes costs nothing or costs something, and each one has a line it will not cross — the cap, the condition, or what it simply will not accept. Read down the last two columns before you carry anything downstairs.
| Route | What it costs | How much it takes | The condition |
|---|---|---|---|
| Curbside, regular collection day | Included in the bundled monthly trash and recycling bill up to four cubic yards; billed as excess bulky above that. | The first four cubic yards of a bulky pile — about the size of two large refrigerators — are included in the monthly fee. Anything over that is charged by the cubic yard: between four and ten yards the pile is tagged and billed on next month's utility bill, and over ten yards a Field Quality tag goes on the door and you have to ring Utilities Customer Service to approve the excess charge before it is taken. | Monthly curbside bulky collection for single-residential households, beginning the first Monday of the month and running in two three-day windows — Monday to Wednesday, or Wednesday to Friday — and crews may come on any day inside your window. Items go out loose by 6 a.m. on your assigned day and no more than three days early, with five feet of clearance on all sides. Bagged waste is not taken at all: it belongs in the Big Blue cart or at the landfill on a free landfill day. Tree limbs must be cut to ten feet or shorter. |
| 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. |

Or have someone take it
