🍂 Leave them or clean them, it's up to you!

Residents are not required to rake or pick up leaves as long as they do not cause a fire hazard, block traffic or rights-of-way. If residents decide to clean up leaves, they should not be blown or raked into the street, gutter or storm drains.

Here are some ways to dispose of your leaves and other green waste, if you choose:

🍁 Curbside Waste Pickup (If it fits, that’s it)
Use any extra space in your gray refuse cart for bagged yard waste, leaves, grass, or small trimmings. Just be sure that the refuse cart lid closes completely.
🍁 Bundle or Bag What Doesn’t Fit
Bundle branches no more than 4 feet long and 2 feet across, weighing under 40 pounds. Or place yard waste in transparent bags (up to 15 bags or bundles per week and/or tagged refuse).
🍁 Leave 3 feet of space between your green waste and other objects.
🍁 Or, drop off green waste at the Mulch Site: www.cityoftulsa.org/mulch

If it tangles, it mangles, and doesn’t belong in your recycling cart. Anything that can wrap around your wrist Is considered a tangler item.

Garden hoses, string lights, extension cords, and other long or flexible items jam recycling machines and can shut down sorting lines. These belong in your gray cart – not the blue cart.

♻️ Let's keep the recycling stream clean, Tulsa.
