City of Tulsa Christmas Tree Disposal Options

12/26/2024

Curbside Pickup, Mulch Site Drop-Off Available

The City of Tulsa wants to remind residents of the free and convenient options to dispose of Christmas trees following the end of this holiday season.

Residents can take advantage of curbside pickup or drop off their live trees at the City’s Mulch Site. These options provide a hassle-free way to dispose of these live trees and keep contaminants out of the City's refuse & recycling operations.

Curbside Pickup Instructions (Live & Artificial Trees)

For residents who prefer curbside disposal, Christmas trees (both live and artificial) will be picked up by the City of Tulsa as part of regular trash service. To ensure the trees can be collected by the City’s trash trucks, the following guidelines must be followed:

Trees must be cut in sections of 4 feet or less
Trees must be placed at the curb on your regular collection day and be located next to your gray trash cart; trees CANNOT be placed in the blue recycling bin
Trees that do not meet these requirements cannot be collected curbside

Mulch Site Drop-Off (Live Trees Only)

Residents of Tulsa, Broken Arrow, Bixby and Jenks can also drop off their live Christmas trees at the City of Tulsa's Mulch Site, located at 2100 N. 145th East Ave. This option is available for live trees only, and all decorations (such as ornaments, tinsel, and lights) must be removed before dropping off. The trees will be repurposed as mulch, contributing to the City’s sustainability efforts.

Hours: Sunday-Tuesday and Thursday-Saturday, 7:30 a.m. – 4:30 p.m. (Closed Wednesdays and Sundays are for residents only)
