As we enjoy celebrating the holidays, we have more to throw away – either in our gray trash cart or blue recycling cart. Recycling is simple for Tulsa residents. Most packaging and wrapping paper – such as cardboard boxes and basic wrapping paper without foil or glitter – are recyclable in the City’s blue recycling carts.
Please recycle only aluminum and steel cans, cardboard and paper, plastic bottles and jugs, and glass bottles and jars found in your kitchen, bath and laundry rooms.
Below is a list of items that cannot be recycled in the blue recycling cart and should be placed in the gray trash cart. For questions on what can be recycled, remember: when in doubt, check it out or throw it out – to learn more, visit www.TulsaRecycles.com
Do NOT recycle:
Christmas Tree Disposal: A Christmas tree doesn’t have to fit in the gray trash cart. In December and January, residents may put trees at the curb on their primary collection day. Trees need to be cut into 4-foot sections to fit into the hopper of the refuse trucks.
Tulsa residents also may bring their live Christmas trees to be ground into mulch at the City’s Mulch Site, 2100 N. 145th East Ave. Trees brought to the site must have all decorations removed.
