Trash Day

Weekly Big Blue Trash Service is for regular, non-recyclable household trash such as food waste, diapers, pet waste, leaves and grass clippings, and non-recyclable plastics or paper trash.

Set It Out On Time

• Know your collection day. Look at your current water bill, visit okcutilities.com or My Trash Day.
• Always set out your trash, recycling, or bulky waste no later than 6 a.m. on your assigned collection day. You can set out regular trash and recycling the night before service and bulky waste up to three days before your service date.
• If a City holiday falls on your collection day, we will make it up on a designated make-up day. Bulky waste service does not change due to the holiday calendar.

Set it Out Right

• Place items on the curbside, facing the street front.
• Place carts and bulky waste items at least 5 feet away from obstacles, including mailboxes, gas meters, trees and shrubs, fire hydrants, or parked cars.
• Do not place carts or bulky trash in the street or on the sidewalk.
• You should set out carts at least 3 feet from one another.
• Do not put carts or bulky waste on top of water meters.
• Do not park in the street where trucks cannot access your trash or bulky items.
