Junk removal costs in Oklahoma City

Put a big pile out in Oklahoma City, and you may come home to a tag on it. The first 4 cubic yards a month are part of your regular trash service, which the city says is about the size of two large refrigerators. Go bigger and the crew tags the pile. From 4 to 10 cubic yards, the extra lands on your next utility bill. Past 10, you'll find a tag on your door asking you to call and approve the charge.

This is for single-family homes. Collection starts the first Monday of each month, and crews work three-day windows, so your pile may go on any of those days. Put it out loose by 6 a.m. on your assigned day, no more than three days early, with 5 feet of clear space around it and away from trees, power lines and mailboxes.

Fridges, freezers and air conditioners with freon need a separate pickup that you call to schedule, and a city ordinance says the fridge and freezer doors come off. Paint, solvents and pesticides go to the city's Household Hazardous Waste Collection Center. Tires aren't picked up at all.

Storms add a wrinkle. After the June and July 2026 storms, the city took fallen limbs on regular bulky days, but storm debris like limbs and broken fencing had to sit in its own pile. Mixed in with furniture or appliances, a pile became subject to excess bulky fees.
