Every route for construction debris in Oklahoma City, checked in October 2026 against the city’s current rules and the drop-off sites named. The full Oklahoma City guide covers every other item.
Here is how each route works in Oklahoma City, starting with the city program and ending with paid pickup.
Oklahoma City monthly bulky waste collection: construction debris
Free, with a step firstOKC accepts DIY, non-contractor construction debris like drywall and fencing in bulky waste, within the volume limit. Contractor debris is excluded, and the Northeast Landfill takes C&D for a fee.
Who qualifies: Single-family homes with City of Oklahoma City trash service. Apartments use private haulers.
How to schedule: No appointment. Every address has a monthly bulky waste window; find it at okc.gov/mytrashday or in the OKC Connect app. Boom trucks collect over a few days. Refrigerators and anything with Freon need a call to Utilities Customer Service at 405-297-2833 before your window.
Limits: Keep the pile within the city's standard volume (about 4 cubic yards) to avoid the excess bulky fee billed to your utility account. Items should be liftable by the boom truck.
Set-out: At the curb or alley by 6 a.m. on your assigned set-out day, with a few feet of clearance around the pile, not in the street or on the sidewalk. Mattresses must be wrapped in plastic; glass and mirrors must be wrapped in cardboard and marked.
Freemoval (free pickups through partner organizations)
FreeFreemoval funds free junk removal and cleanouts for households referred by trusted partner organizations, such as nonprofits, housing programs, and senior services. Families don’t apply directly. A partner submits the request and vouches for the need.
Status in Oklahoma City: Not yet available. Freemoval currently serves metro Atlanta and plans to expand nationwide.
How it works where it operates: One free pickup per household, covering construction debris, furniture, appliances, and bulk household items within standard LoadUp marketplace service. Funded by LoadUp customer round-ups and direct contributions, spent at standard LoadUp rates.
If you run a nonprofit or housing program in Oklahoma City: you can start the conversation now through the For partners page.
Oklahoma City runs a tightly structured but generous system: monthly bulky waste collection bundled into base service rate, the first 4 cubic yards per pickup are FREE (excess yards charged at city-published rates, e.g., $13.86 as of January 2025). Each home gets TWO Big Blue 96-gallon trash carts (unusual nationally) plus one Big Green recycling cart for biweekly recycling. Refrigerators and freezers (Freon items) require a separate truck and separate appointment via 405-297-2833; doors must be removed before pickup. The City hosts TWO Free Landfill Days per year (typically May and September) where residents can dispose of acceptable items free at four participating landfills. Major route changes affected 64,000 customers in March 2026, verify your current schedule at okc.gov/MyTrashDay. This page walks through every legitimate option in order from free to paid.
The Oklahoma City rule for construction debris: OKC accepts DIY, non-contractor construction debris like drywall and fencing in bulky waste, within the volume limit. Contractor debris is excluded, and the Northeast Landfill takes C&D for a fee.
Program basics: Keep the pile within the city's standard volume (about 4 cubic yards) to avoid the excess bulky fee billed to your utility account. Items should be liftable by the boom truck. At the curb or alley by 6 a.m. on your assigned set-out day, with a few feet of clearance around the pile, not in the street or on the sidewalk. Mattresses must be wrapped in plastic; glass and mirrors must be wrapped in cardboard and marked.
What the city will not take: Tires and auto parts, household hazardous waste, electronics other than TVs, contractor-generated debris, and loose bagged trash. Freon appliances are accepted only after you call 405-297-2833.
How we checked this. The rules on this page were verified in October 2026 against: City of Oklahoma City Utilities: Bulk Waste Pick-Up, City of Oklahoma City: Household Hazardous Waste Collection Center. Programs change; confirm fees and limits before you go.
Why construction debris are different from ordinary bulk. The homeowner versus contractor distinction matters. Cities that accept any C&D at the curb accept it only from residents doing their own work, in small amounts, usually bagged or bundled under 50 pounds. Contractor-generated debris is excluded everywhere and must be hauled by the contractor; make sure debris removal is in your contract.
Three mistakes that get construction debris left at the curb:
Most renovation debris will go through one of these paid channels. Match the volume to the option.
Self-haul to a transfer station
$30 to $100 per pickup loadTransfer stations charge by weight (commonly $60 to $120 per ton with a minimum) or by load. A pickup truck of mixed debris typically runs $30 to $100. Sort concrete and clean wood out for cheaper rates where offered.
Tarp the load; most jurisdictions fine uncovered debris.
Call about asbestos rules before hauling anything from a pre-1980 house.

Will Habitat ReStore pick up kitchen cabinets?
