July 4 storm debris to be collected on regular bulky waste schedule

Published on July 08, 2026

Residential solid waste customers who experienced tree and limb damage during the July 4 severe weather event are asked to set their debris at the curb so it can be collected during their next regular bulky waste day in July.

Solid Waste crews assessed areas where the storm was most severe and put together a map of impacted areas, which identifies roughly 24 square miles scattered across OKC. Neighborhoods impacted are located generally in far north OKC along a stretch of Air Depot Boulevard and in far southeast OKC along 164th Street.

See map at okc.gov/debris for specific impacted areas.

What to know:

If you live in one of the neighborhoods in green identified on the map and have tree or limb debris, please set all debris at the curb for collection by 6 a.m. on your next regular bulky waste day in July. You will not be fined for early setout, nor will you be charged excess bulky waste fees due to the size of your storm debris pile.
Separate storm debris like tree limbs and fencing from regular bulky waste such as carpeting, furniture or appliances. If your bulky waste pile is commingled and includes both storm debris and regular bulky waste, you will be subject to excess bulky waste fees.
Visit okc.gov/mytrashday to confirm your next bulky collection date.
Tree limbs should be cut into sections of 10-feet or shorter.
Do not set any bulky items near mailboxes, gas meters, under trees, under overhead lines or near other obstructions.
Do not set bulky items on top of water meter tiles or block sidewalk access.
Do not set any bags out with your bulky waste. Bagged items are not part of the bulky waste collection program.

Commercial properties:

Commercial properties – including businesses, churches, schools, nonprofits and other organizations – are not eligible for curbside pickup by the City and are responsible for their own debris collection and disposal.
