Every route for a toilet or bathtub 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: toilets, bathtubs, and sinks
FreeToilets are explicitly on OKC's bulky list. Sinks and tubs follow as DIY debris within the volume limit.
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 toilets, bathtubs, and sinks, 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 toilets, bathtubs, and sinks: Toilets are explicitly on OKC's bulky list. Sinks and tubs follow as DIY debris within the volume limit.
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 toilets, bathtubs, and sinks are different from ordinary bulk. Porcelain is the sticking point. A whole toilet or pedestal sink is heavy, awkward, and shatters into sharp pieces, so many bulk crews refuse them intact. Some cities accept porcelain if it is broken into pieces and bagged or boxed; others route it to the transfer station as inert C&D material. Clean porcelain is actually recyclable as aggregate, and a growing number of regions accept it at concrete recyclers.
Three mistakes that get toilets, bathtubs, and sinks left at the curb:
When the city classifies fixtures as C&D and no scrap or donation route fits, paid options are the only legal path.
Self-haul to a transfer station or C&D recycler
$10 to $40Transfer stations accept fixtures as C&D by weight or by load. Clean porcelain is accepted at some concrete and aggregate recyclers for less. Break porcelain into bagged pieces to make it easy to handle.
Line the vehicle. Porcelain shards will cut carpet and tires.

$80+For households who need same-day or in-home pickup, exceed the 4 cubic yard free monthly limit, can’t wait for the next monthly bulky window, have items the city won’t accept (contractor debris, hazardous waste, automotive parts), live in apartment buildings without OKC Utilities service, or want full-service hauling, LoadUp offers professional removal in Oklahoma City with upfront pricing. Independent loaders in the marketplace handle pickup, loading, and licensed disposal.

How much does paid toilet and tub removal cost in Oklahoma City?
Through the LoadUp marketplace, a single toilet or bathtub pickup in Oklahoma City starts around $80 to $100 with upfront pricing, and full-truck loads run $300 to $600 depending on volume. For households who need same-day or in-home pickup, exceed the 4 cubic yard free monthly limit, can’t wait for the next monthly bulky window, have items the city won’t accept (contractor debris, hazardous waste, automotive parts), live in apartment buildings without OKC Utilities service, or want full-service hauling, LoadUp offers professional removal in Oklahoma City with upfront pricing.

Can I put an old toilet out with bulk trash?
It depends on the city. Some accept toilets and sinks with bulk pickup, some accept only broken porcelain in bags with regular trash, and many classify fixtures as construction debris and exclude them. Check the directory below for your city.
Is porcelain recyclable?
Yes, as inert aggregate. Crushed toilets and sinks become road base and fill. Some transfer stations and concrete recyclers accept clean porcelain for less than general C&D rates, and some water utilities run toilet recycling drop-offs.
How do I get a cast iron tub out of a second-floor bathroom?
Either hire scrappers or movers who handle the weight, or break it. Cover the tub with a heavy blanket, wear eye protection, gloves, and long sleeves, and strike the side near the drain with a sledgehammer; cast iron cracks into pieces that two people can carry. Clean up the enamel chips, which are sharp.
Will a ReStore take a used toilet?
Most will if it is a 1.6 gpf or lower model, uncracked, clean, and complete with tank lid and seat. Some require the WaterSense 1.28 gpf label. Older 3.5 gpf toilets are generally refused.
Is this Oklahoma City page maintained?
Yes. Freemoval maintains this page as a public resource alongside the full Oklahoma City guide. We update it when programs change rules, fees, or contact methods. Last updated October 2026. If you find outdated information, let us know.
