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 washers and dryers: Washers and dryers are accepted appliances for the fee, in a separate pile.
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 washers and dryers are different from ordinary bulk. Washers and dryers sit in an unusual middle ground. They are not hazardous like a refrigerator (no refrigerant to recover under EPA Section 608), so most city bulk programs accept them without a special fee. But they are heavy enough that many programs set weight or two-person-lift limits, and a front-loader with a concrete counterweight can exceed 230 pounds.
Three mistakes that get washers and dryers left at the curb:
When the machine is in a basement with no walkout, the retailer will not take it, or you need it gone this week, paid options fill the gap.
Self-haul to a transfer station or scrap yard
Free to $25If you own or can borrow a truck and an appliance dolly, most county transfer stations and all scrap yards accept washers and dryers. Transfer stations may charge a small appliance fee; scrap yards do not.
Two people and a strapped dolly are the minimum for stairs. A front-loader's counterweight makes it top-heavy.
Call ahead about hours and whether the facility wants the unit upright.
LoadUp paid washer or dryer 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 washer or dryer. 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 washers and dryers for free?
Yes, set apart, for the $20 fee, or a scrap yard.
Where can I donate a washer or dryer 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 washer and dryer removal cost in Tulsa?
Through the LoadUp marketplace, a single washer or dryer 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.
Can I put a washer or dryer out with my regular trash?
Almost never in the regular cart, but most cities with a bulk or large-item program will take laundry machines at the curb on a scheduled day. Check your city’s rules in the directory below; some require an appliance-specific appointment.
Is there anything hazardous inside a washer or dryer?
No refrigerant and nothing regulated under EPA Section 608. The only cautions are a possible gas connection on dryers, the 240V electrical cord, and residual water in a washer. Some older washers have a small capacitor on the motor, which scrap yards handle routinely.
How much does a washer or dryer weigh?
Top-load washers run 150 to 180 pounds, front-loaders 180 to 230 pounds because of the concrete counterweight, and dryers 100 to 150 pounds. Stacked units should be separated before moving.
Will a scrap yard pay me for an old washer?
Usually a few dollars. Scrap steel prices fluctuate, and a washer yields roughly 100 to 150 pounds of mixed steel plus a copper-wound motor. Many people find the free pickup more valuable than the payout and simply list the machine as free scrap.
