Bulky Waste Collection Delayed In Oklahoma City

Press release from the City of Oklahoma City:

April 28, 2021

Some residential utilities customers in Oklahoma City may have a delay to bulky waste pickup as crews work to keep up with increased demand.

Leave bulky waste items on the curb for pickup even if your normal pickup window is missed. It will be picked up as crews make up time. The City will not issue citations or fines for bulky waste on the curb while the delays are ongoing.

Crews are seeing an increase in the amount of bulky waste from spring cleaning, and from trees and shrubs damaged or destroyed in February’s extreme cold, snow and ice. The Utilities Department has eight extra trucks collecting residential bulky waste to help with the increased loads.

If your neighborhood bulky waste piles have all been collected and your pile was missed, you can report it at okcutilities.com or by calling (405) 297-2833.

Make sure your bulky waste pile is clear from obstructions like mailboxes, trees, or vehicles. Do not cover your water meter. Bagged waste will not be picked up and needs to be placed inside your trash cart.

The first 4 cubic yards (about the size of two refrigerators) are included in your monthly service fee. Customers who set out more than 4 cubic yards may be charged an excess bulky fee on their next utility bill.

For your collection date, check your utility bill, or visit okcutilities.com or okc.gov/mytrashday.
