How pickup works
| Type | Monthly, first 4 cubic yards included |
| Schedule | Pickup begins the first Monday of every month and runs in two three-day windows (Monday–Wednesday or Wednesday–Friday) starting on your assigned date. Crews may come any day in the window. Set items out by 6 a.m. on your assigned day, and no more than three days early. Service does not change for holidays. Look up your day at MyTrashDay, in your OKC Utilities account, or on your water bill. |
| Limits | The first 4 cubic yards (about the size of two large refrigerators) are included. Piles of 4–10 cubic yards are tagged and billed on the next utility bill. Over 10 cubic yards, staff leave a door tag and you must call to approve the extra charges. |
| Cost | The first 4 cubic yards are included in monthly fees. Extra volume is billed — see the city's Service Rates & Fees page for the current excess-bulky rates. |
| Who is eligible | Single-residential households that receive the city's bundled trash and recycling service. |
| How to set items out | Loose at the curb by 6 a.m. on your assigned day, with 5 feet of clearance, away from trees, power lines, mailboxes, fences, meters, vehicles, sidewalks and water-meter vaults. Do not place items in the street, driveway, empty lots or on unoccupied property. |
