Recycling in Tulsa: A Local Guide
Tulsa makes recycling easy at the curb: curbside recycling is built into city trash service, so every residential customer gets a blue 96-gallon recycling cart alongside the gray refuse cart at no extra charge, picked up on your regular collection day (cityoftulsa.org). For everything the blue cart can't take, Tulsa is served by the M.e.t. (Metropolitan Environmental Trust), a city-funded network of free drop-off depots. This directory maps 13 recycling and scrap facilities across the city. For other Oklahoma cities, see our Oklahoma recycling hub.
Among Tulsa's listed centers, 2 take electronics, 2 handle appliances, and 2 buy scrap metal, with single centers covering batteries, tires, cardboard/paper, and yard waste. The M.e.t. Recycling Center downtown and its Central Tulsa depot are the go-to free drop-offs for items like electronics and batteries. For scrap metal, Yaffe Metals is a long-running public buyer, and Natural Evolution accepts electronics, appliances, and batteries at one stop. The Tulsa Indoor Dump rounds out the options with appliances, cardboard, scrap metal, tires, and yard waste.
