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 TVs and electronics: Tulsa's bulky pickup accepts electronics, up to 4 TVs or monitors per pickup, in a separate pile, under the same fee. The Household Pollutant Collection Facility takes electronics free.
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.
How we checked this. The rules on this page were verified in October 2026 against: City of Tulsa: Schedule a Bulky Waste Pick Up, City of Tulsa Refuse and Recycling: residential FAQ. Programs change; confirm fees and limits before you go.
Why TVs and electronics are different from ordinary bulk. Electronics fall into a unique disposal category: they’re NOT eligible for regular trash in 25+ states (NY, CA, IL, NJ, MA, OR, WA, MN, MI, CT, MD, NC, VA, OK, and others have e-waste laws), but free recycling is widely available through multiple channels.
Three mistakes that get TVs and electronics left at the curb:
When free options don’t fit (large CRT TVs, multiple items at once, can’t self-haul):
LoadUp paid TV or electronics 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 TV or electronics. 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.

Does Tulsa pick up TVs and electronics for free?
Yes, up to 4 TVs or monitors, set apart, for the $20 fee. Free at the HPCF.
Where can I donate a TV or electronics in Tulsa?
Salvation Army Tulsa, free pickup for usable furniture and household items. Schedule at satruck.org or 1-800-SA-TRUCK.
How much does paid TV and electronics removal cost in Tulsa?
Through the LoadUp marketplace, a single TV or electronics pickup in Tulsa starts around $80 to $100 with upfront pricing, and full-truck loads run $300 to $600 depending on volume. 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 the simplest way to recycle electronics?
Best Buy in-store recycling. 1,000+ U.S. locations, accepts most electronics free at the customer service desk (limit 3 items per household per day). Computers, laptops, monitors under 32 inches, printers, small electronics, batteries, ink cartridges, and cables are free. CRT TVs and TVs over 32 inches: $30 fee each. No appointment needed.
Can I throw a TV in regular trash?
In most U.S. states, no. 25+ states (NY, CA, IL, NJ, MA, OR, WA, MN, MI, CT, MD, NC, VA, OK, and others) have e-waste laws that ban TVs from regular trash. Even in states without e-waste laws, most cities ban TVs from regular bulk pickup. Free TV recycling is available through Best Buy ($30 for CRT or over 32 in), state e-waste programs, and city drop-off sites.
How do I wipe my hard drive before recycling a computer?
Three options: (1) Software wipe, download free DBAN (Darik’s Boot and Nuke) or use built-in OS tools (Windows: Reset PC with “remove everything” + clean drive; Mac: Erase Assistant in System Settings). (2) Physical destruction, remove the hard drive and physically destroy it (drill holes, hammer). (3) Best Buy free data destruction service, included with electronics drop-off. Option 3 is easiest if you’re using Best Buy for disposal anyway.
Why are CRT TVs more expensive to recycle?
CRT (cathode ray tube) TVs contain 4 to 8 lbs of leaded glass per tube, plus phosphors and other heavy metals. Modern flat-screen TVs are dramatically less hazardous and cheaper to recycle. CRT recyclers must handle the leaded glass through specialized facilities, which costs $20 to $50 per TV. Retailer recycling fees ($30 at Best Buy) and city drop-off fees ($10 to $30) cover this cost. State e-waste programs (NY, CA, IL, others) absorb the cost through manufacturer fees on new electronics.
