Holiday Trash Schedule

This makeup schedule is for trash and recycling collection only and is updated each Fiscal Year (July 1 - June 30). The ates listed reflect the days City offices are closed in observance of holidays, which may differ from the actual calendar dates of the holidays.”

If holidays fall on a weekend, the City observes that holiday the Friday before or Monday following the holiday. Solid Waste Services do not have regular neighborhood collection on Wednesdays. As such, holidays that fall on Wednesdays are typically not impacted by City-observed holidays.

For your complete trash, recycling and bulky waste schedule, look on your most recent OKC Utilities bill, visit okcutilities.com, or see our My Trash Day page. 

Note: Bulky waste service does not change due to the holiday calendar.

Private Development Manual

The Private Development Design Manual for Water & Wastewater Design Requirements ("Manual") establishes minimum requirements for construction and development projects and is for use by property owners, developers, professional engineers and other applicants. Using the Manual does not assume approval of any plans, project or other request.

All plans for tie-ins to the City's Utilities water or wastewater infrastructure must be approved by the Private Development group in Utilities Engineering. The Utilities Department reserves the right to make adjustments or additional requirements for development plans or applications on a case-by-case after analysis and evaluation by the our engineering team. 

Download a copy of the Manual here.

Revised Easement Requirements can be found here. 

Standards

The City of Oklahoma City development standards are updated periodically. Contractors and other users are responsible for ensuring the most recent standards are being specified. The current Oklahoma City Water Utilities Trust (OCWUT) cover sheet and all Utilities standards are available via download from this webpage. 

The standards are approved by the City Engineer for use within the City of Oklahoma City.
