If you're working this weekend to get your yard ready for winter, here are a couple of options to help you dispose of your greenwaste.

Tulsa's trash service makes yard waste removal simple.
At the Curb:
• Limbs and branches can be tied into bundles no more than 2-feet across and 4-feet long and weighing less than 40 lbs. and placed at the curb on your regular trash day.
• Grass and leaves can be bagged in a transparent bag and place at the curb (no tags required) on your regular trash day.
• Please leave three feet of space between your green waste and other objects.
• You may place a total of 15 bags and/or bundles of yard waste and/or (tagged) refuse at the curb per week.
• Always remember, yard waste does NOT go in your blue recycling cart.

Drop it Off at the Mulch Site:
You can drop off loose tree branches, grass clippings and leaves. (The mulch site will not accept anything over 24 inches in diameter. No root balls or trees with foreign materials such as fence or concrete, rock, pipe, lumber or treated wood, trash, dirt or building materials.)

While at the site, you can pick up an unlimited amount of free mulch.
2100 N. 145th E. Ave.
Open Sunday-Tuesday and Thursday-Saturday 7:30 a.m. - 4:30 p.m., excluding City of Tulsa holidays

Improper battery disposal can start a fire. Instead of throwing used batteries in your curbside bin, follow these instructions to ensure your batteries are disposed of safely.

Dispose of oil & grease the right way! Cooking oil and grease can clog your pipes and pollute Tulsa’s waterways if not disposed of properly. Here’s how you can handle it responsibly:

» Reuse It: If it’s still usable, strain and save used oil for future cooking
» Cool and Toss: Let grease solidify, then scrape it into a sealed container and throw it in your gray trash cart
» Drop It Off: For larger quantities, drop your oil and grease off at Tulsa’s Household Pollutant Collection Facility, 4502 S. Galveston Ave., pen Wednesdays and Saturdays, 8 a.m. - 11:30 a.m.; Noon - 4:30 p.m.

While there were no widespread damage reports from this weekend's storm, you may still find yourself with a few extra limbs. If this is you, there are several ways to get rid of them:

**Primary Gray Trash Cart** If it Fits, That's it. Any extra capacity in your primary trash cart can be used for bagged yard waste. If it fits with the lid completely closed, that's all you need to do. Yard waste can only be placed in your primary gray trash cart. Yard waste placed in the blue cart will not be collected.

**Curbside Pickup** You may bundle smaller, lighter limbs together and leave them on the curb on your normal trash day at no extra cost. Bundles should be no larger than 2-feet across and 5-feet long, must be placed at the curb, and should NEVER be placed below power lines, over water meter cans, or in the street and/or over curb and gutter systems.

Bundles more than 40 pounds will require a scheduled Bulky Waste Pickup, which is $10 per 8 cubic yards. Information about scheduling a bulky waste pickup can be found online at: www.cityoftulsa.org/bulkywaste

**Extra Greenwaste** If you have extra greenwaste that doesn't fit in your cart and can't be bundled, you may bag it in a transparent bag and place it at the curb at no extra cost.

Combined, households may place a total of 15 of these transparent bags and/or curbside bundles at the curb on your primary collection day (e.x. 15 bags only, or 7 bags and 8 bundles).

**Mulch Site** You can also drop off greenwaste free of charge at the City of Tulsa's Mulch Site at 2100 N. 145th E. Ave. Hours are Monday-Tuesday: 7:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., Wednesday: CLOSED, Thursday-Saturday: 7:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., and Sunday: 7:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.
