NW OKC August storm debris collection on regular bulky waste schedule

Published on August 26, 2025

Residential solid waste customers in northwest Oklahoma City who experienced tree and limb damage during last week’s sudden rain downbursts are asked to set their debris at the curb so it can be collected during their next regular bulky waste day in September.

Crews have assessed areas where the downbursts were most severe and have put together a map of impacted areas. Neighborhoods impacted are located generally south of Lake Hefner between Northwest 10^th Street and Wilshire Boulevard and North MacArthur Boulevard and May Avenue.

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

What to know:

If you live in one of the neighborhoods 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 September. You will not be fined for early set-out, 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.
