Weekly Big Blue Trash Service is for regular, non-recyclable household trash such as food waste, diapers and pet waste, leaves and grass clippings, and non-recyclable plastics or paper trash.

• Know your collection day. Look at your current water bill, visit okcutilities.com, or My Trash Day.
• Always set out your trash, recycling or bulky waste no later than 6 a.m. on your assigned collection day. You can set out regular trash and recycling the night before service, and bulky waste up to three days before your service date.
• If a City holiday falls on your collection day, we will make it up on a designated make-up day. Bulky waste service does not change due to the holiday calendar.

• Bag all items put in your Big Blue trash cart and do not place any bags outside of carts. All trash must be contained in your Big Blue. Likewise, do not use your Big Green Recycling Cart for regular trash. 
• Place items on the curbside, facing the street front.
• Place carts and bulky waste items at least 5 feet away from obstacles, including mailboxes, gas meters, trees and shrubs, fire hydrants or parked cars.
• Do not place carts or bulky trash in the street or on the sidewalk.
• Carts should be set out at least 3 feet from one another.
• Do not put carts or bulky waste on top of water meters.
• Do not park in the street where trucks cannot access your trash or bulky items.
