Pickup comes on your regular day. The fee is $20 per 8 cubic yards (raised from $10 on October 1, 2026), billed to your utility account.

Tulsa, Oklahoma provides bulky waste collection through a fee-based appointment system, making it one of a smaller group of major U.S. cities that charge for this service. The $10 fee for up to 8 cubic yards is modest compared to paid hauler rates but adds a cost barrier relative to cities with fully free bulk pickup. Tulsa also has a distinct “orange refuse sticker” system for small overflow items. This guide covers every disposal option for Tulsa residents, including donation programs (Salvation Army, Habitat ReStore, DAV, Goodwill), Oklahoma-specific rules, and paid options when city service doesn’t fit.
The Tulsa rule for construction debris: Small remodeling debris from your own project is accepted if containerized under 1 cubic yard. Larger loads need a dumpster.

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.
