Oklahoma City, OK bulky waste pickup: schedule, booking and rules

Who receives Oklahoma City bulky waste collection?

The city’s monthly curbside bulky program serves single-residential households and is bundled with regular trash and recycling service. It covers eligible large items that do not fit in the Big Blue cart. Check that the service address has city residential collection before planning a curbside pile. Official guidance.

For apartments, HOA-managed properties or rentals with landlord-arranged waste removal, confirm the service account and bulky eligibility with Utilities Customer Service at (405) 297-2833. The city describes this program as serving single-residential households. Contact Utilities Customer Service.

The city changed some bulky routes beginning May 1, 2026. Use current account information or the official lookup rather than an old printed date. This guide does not assign a collection day to any street or neighborhood. Official guidance.

How to find your OKC bulk trash day

The city lists four ways to check bulky dates: its My Trash Day map, the customer account at okcutilities.com, the My OKC Utilities app and the paper water bill. On the map, enter the address and click the red dot to see the next three bulky dates. Official guidance.

Collection uses a Monday-through-Wednesday or Wednesday-through-Friday window beginning on the assigned date. Crews may arrive on any of those three days. High-volume periods can take longer, and the city says bulky service does not change for holidays. Official guidance.

Have everything out before the start-date deadline, rather than adding items after the truck may have passed. Check the schedule again before a major cleanout, especially if your household was affected by the 2026 route changes. Keep the collection window in your calendar as well as its first day.

What does bulk trash pickup Oklahoma City accept?

Check the item list for your exact material. Official guidance.

Basketball goals require a call to (405) 297-2833 so the city knows to collect them during your regular window. Label a goal “trash” or “bulky” if it is intended for removal. Clearly identify special items before the crew arrives. Official guidance.

Set-out timing, clearance and pile placement

Put items out by 6 a.m. on the assigned collection day, but not more than three days early. Keep the pile loose at the curb with 5 feet of clearance on all sides. Items placed after your assigned date may not be collected. Official guidance.

• Keep the pile away from trees, power lines, mailboxes, fences, gas meters and vehicles.
• Do not block sidewalks, storm drains, water meters or meter vaults.
• Do not place bulky waste in the street or driveway.
• Do not use empty lots or unoccupied property as a collection point.
• Keep bagged waste out of the bulky pile, including bags of leaves.

Read the official instructions before preparing your items.

If the frontage is difficult to use, describe the problem to Utilities before moving the pile. Use the same service address that appears on the utility account. Do not move items to a neighboring vacant lot simply because it offers more space.

For questions about an early-set-out notice or dumping complaint, contact Utilities Customer Service at (405) 297-2833. Ask which rule and department apply to your situation. Official Utilities contact.

Four-cubic-yard allowance and November 2026 fees

The first four cubic yards of bulky waste are included in the monthly service fee. Above that allowance, excess charges apply per additional cubic yard. As of November 2026, the city’s rate table lists the excess bulky fee as $15.32. Official guidance.

For piles between four and 10 cubic yards, the city says it tags the pile and bills the excess on the next month’s utility bill. For piles over 10 cubic yards, staff leave a door tag asking you to call Utilities Customer Service to approve the excess charges. Official guidance.

The November 2026 bundled residential trash, recycling and bulky waste rate is $29.88 per month. This is the bundle price, not an extra fee charged for every normal bulky collection. Check the current rate table if you are comparing service costs or reviewing a bill. Official guidance.

Measure the pile before the set-out window and decide whether donation or another disposal route can reduce it. The allowance measures space occupied, so a few large furniture items can use it quickly. For an uncertain estimate, ask Utilities how the crew will assess the load.

How to arrange Oklahoma City bulk pickup

1. Check the assigned bulky date through the city’s map, account, app or paper bill.
2. Separate prohibited waste and measure the planned pile against the four-cubic-yard allowance.
3. Call (405) 297-2833 for refrigerant appliances or basketball goals needing special handling.
4. For a refrigerator or freezer, follow the city’s instruction to remove doors before collection.
5. Set accepted items out before 6 a.m. on your assigned date, within the three-day early-set-out limit.

Read the official instructions before preparing your items.

Ordinary eligible bulky waste follows the monthly route; the city does not require an individual appointment for every compliant furniture pile. Special handling calls are for the items identified in the rules. Have the address and account information ready when asking Utilities to confirm an arrangement. Official guidance.

If you are hiring a landscaper or renovation contractor, agree on waste removal before the job begins. Contractor waste is excluded from the residential bulky program. Do not treat the four-cubic-yard included allowance as permission to leave contractor debris at the curb. Official guidance.

Missed bulky collection: report within two business days

Report a miss within two business days after the end of your Monday–Wednesday or Wednesday–Friday window. Log into okcutilities.com and use the Service tab, or call (405) 297-2833 Ext. 3. The phone prompt system requires a valid account identification number. Official guidance.

Reporting later may mean waiting until the next monthly collection period. Count from the end of the collection window, rather than assuming a pile is missed on its first assigned day. Check any tag first: it may explain an excess-charge approval or a material problem. Official guidance.

Provide the address, assigned start date, items remaining and any tag details. A photograph can help you describe pile size and placement. If there is severe weather or a wider delay, ask Utilities how it affects your particular collection before removing or rebuilding the pile.

Landfill drop-off and recycling Oklahoma City items

OKC offers two free landfill days each year for eligible city residential trash customers with active accounts. The listed 2026 events were May 2 and September 12; both have passed as of this guide’s verification date. Check the city page for any later announcement rather than assuming a future date. Official guidance.

Participating locations listed by the city include East Oak Landfill, 3201 Mosley Road; Oklahoma City Landfill, 7001 S. Bryant Ave.; and Oklahoma Landfill, 7600 SW 15th St. The GFL site at 2601 N. Midwest Blvd., Spencer, is listed for construction and demolition material only. Official guidance.

Free-day rules include proof of a current eligible account, with additional documentation for renters whose landlord holds the bill. Apartment residents are excluded from the free-day program. Accepted materials include household trash, furniture, non-refrigerant appliances and bagged yard waste; check exclusions and current locations before traveling. Official guidance.

For electronics, use the city’s Reuse and Repurpose directory to check specialist routes. Do not assume the hazardous waste center accepts computer equipment. Confirm a recipient’s current acceptance policy before loading the vehicle. Official guidance.

Hazardous waste disposal Oklahoma City and donation options

The Household Hazardous Waste Collection Center is at 1621 S. Portland Ave., phone (405) 682-7038. It is free for Oklahoma City residents; bring your City water bill as proof of residency. Posted hours are Tuesday through Friday, 9:30 a.m. to 6 p.m., and Saturday, 8:30 to 11:30 a.m.; check for closures. Official guidance.

The center accepts many household chemicals, automotive products and paint-related materials. Keep them in original packages and never pour different chemicals together. It does not accept tires, computer equipment, medications, ammunition, explosives or commercial hazardous waste. Official guidance.

The city’s reuse directory recommends local giveaway groups or charities for usable furniture, small appliances and clothing. Check condition requirements before arranging a donation. Removing reusable items first can leave a smaller, simpler pile for the monthly bulky route. Official guidance.

Separate your plan into eligible curbside items, hazardous household products, electronics and reusable goods. Each destination has its own rules. Confirm unclear items with the city before setting them outside. SettleUSA is an independent guide; your address-specific city instructions take priority.
