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 grills: Grills are accepted bulky waste; propane tanks are not, and go to the HPCF or an exchange.
Program basics: 8 cubic yards per fee (one cubic yard is about a washing machine). Up to 4 TVs or monitors and up to 4 tires without rims per pickup. Glass must be boxed. Small DIY remodel debris must be containerized under 1 cubic yard. At the curb on your regular collection day after scheduling. Keep electronics, appliances, and tires in separate piles from the rest; two different trucks collect them.
What the city will not take: Auto parts, batteries, liquids, hazardous materials, explosives, and loose glass. The Household Pollutant Collection Facility handles hazardous waste free.

Why grills are different from ordinary bulk. The propane tank is the entire problem. Even an 'empty' 20-pound tank holds residual gas under pressure and can rupture in a compactor. Trash and bulk crews are trained to refuse grills with tanks attached, and a tank left on the grill is the main reason grills get skipped.
Three mistakes that get grills left at the curb:
Paid options are mostly for built-in grills and heavy ceramic kamado cookers.
Self-haul to a scrap yard or transfer station
Free to $20A cart grill fits in an SUV with the lid off and legs folded. Scrap yards take it free; transfer stations charge a small bulky fee. Take the tank to a separate drop-off.
Ceramic kamado grills have no scrap value and go to a transfer station; the steel bands and cart are scrap.
LoadUp paid grill pickup
$80+For Tulsa households who need same-day or in-home pickup, have items the city won’t accept, are clearing more than 8 cubic yards, or want full-service hauling without scheduling 3 days in advance, LoadUp connects you with independent loaders in the Tulsa area for upfront-priced pickup.
What’s included: Loading, hauling, and licensed disposal of your grill. No prep needed beyond pointing out what goes.
Pricing: Starts around $80 for a single item; full-truck pickups range from $300 to $600 depending on volume.
If you can pay for a pickup, your booking helps fund free pickups for someone else. Every paid LoadUp customer can opt in to round up at checkout, and 100% of round-ups go directly to Freemoval’s subsidized jobs.

Can I put a gas grill out with bulk trash?
Yes in most cities, once the propane tank is removed. Some cities also ask for the grill to be clean of grease. Check your city’s rule in the directory below.
What do I do with the propane tank?
Take it to a tank exchange cage (trade for a full one), a propane dealer or hardware store that accepts old tanks, or a household hazardous waste facility. Never put it in the trash or at the curb, even if it feels empty.
Will a scrap yard take a grill?
Yes, free, and stainless grills often pay. The tank must be off; most yards refuse tanks unless the valve has been removed, and many refuse them entirely.
Can I donate a used grill?
Working gas grills that are cleaned are accepted by some ReStores and move instantly on free listings in spring and summer. Thrift stores generally do not accept grills. Include the regulator and hose, not the tank.
