Refrigerators, freezers and air conditioners

City cost & eligibility

Televisions, computers and monitors

Special rules apply

Norman has a gap in its own electronics program. The Transfer Station lists televisions, computers and phones as prohibited toxic waste, and the household hazardous waste facility states it cannot accept electronics at all, so the city route is a periodic e-waste collection event and the fallback is a private recycler on the state list.

City cost & eligibility
The city publishes no per item price for a television or computer and has not published the date of its next electronics collection event, so confirm both the date and any charge with the household hazardous waste facility on 405.366.5463 before loading a device. The state environmental quality list of recyclers is the fallback, and the city warns that some of those businesses may charge fees.
When & how
Watch for the city's electronics collection event, which is announced on the website, on social media and in utility bill notices, or call the hazardous waste facility to ask what is scheduled and what a private recycler charges.
Get it ready
Wipe personal information from a phone, computer or smart television before handover, keep the device whole with its cables and remotes, and keep it out of the polycart and out of the curbside recycling cart. A refrigerator, freezer or air conditioning unit is never part of an electronics load because it holds Freon.

Remodeling, construction and demolition material

Accepted with preparation

A household remodel is on the Transfer Station's residential accepted list, which makes a self-hauled load the practical route, while the cleanup day refuses remodeling and demolition debris and commercial construction debris pays the standard gate rate.

City cost & eligibility
From $13 for up to 600 pounds at the Transfer Station residential rate, with heavier loads charged by the ton and commercial or non-resident loads charged the higher standard rate. A Norman resident showing a current City of Norman utility bill at the gate, on a load of home remodel material, fence panels and similar residential debris. Commercial demolition debris, lumber, sheetrock and shingles move at the standard rate, and the cleanup day does not take remodeling or demolition debris at all.
When & how
Load the material and drive to the Transfer Station at 3901 Chautauqua Avenue on a weekday between 7:30 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. or a Saturday between 8:00 a.m. and 2:00 p.m., and check in at the gate with the utility bill.
Get it ready
Sort the load before the trip, because large concrete chunks are taken at the attendant's discretion and metal or lumber longer than eight feet is prohibited, as are asphalt, asbestos, dirt or soil, paint, tires and ammunition. Keep the material out of the polycart, and keep it off a cleanup pile because the cleanup refuses it.

Exercise equipment

Special rules apply

Exercise equipment is not named on any Norman list, so a treadmill or a weight machine is booked as a bulky item or set out on a cleanup day after the department confirms it, because the cleanup excludes remodeling debris and specific hazard categories rather than large household goods.

City cost & eligibility
No published rate covers an exercise machine on its own. The bulky pickup carries a flat fee when it is booked, the cleanup is a residential service with no published per item fee, and a self-hauled load at the Transfer Station is charged at the residential rate, so call the Sanitation Division on (405) 329-1023 to confirm which route takes the machine.
When & how
Confirm the machine with the Sanitation Division first, then book the bulky pickup, set it out on the cleanup day for the household's collection route, or take it to the Transfer Station during open hours.
Get it ready
Describe the size and the material of the machine when the pickup is arranged, keep it out of the polycart, and keep it clear of electrical lines and transformers. A Freon item is never part of an equipment load, and a cleanup pile cannot include remodeling debris or yard waste.

Right place.

Cart placement and the seven o'clock set-out

How a cleanup day works

The citywide cleanup runs once in the fall and once in the spring, with items curbside by 7 a.m. on the household's own polycart day and no earlier than one week before it. The cleanup refuses yard waste of any kind, remodeling and demolition debris, junk cars, and hazardous waste such as tires, batteries and paints, polycarts, wagons and wheelbarrows cannot be used as containers, and a Freon item needs a certified technician's tag.

What a self-hauled load needs at the gate

Televisions, computers and phones, hazardous waste, paint, tires, batteries, asbestos, asphalt, dirt or soil, oversized metal or lumber and ammunition are refused, and a commercial or non-resident load pays the higher standard rate.

What the recycling cart takes

Curbside recycling takes aluminium, paper, plastics numbered one and two, steel and tin cans, paperboard, cardboard and paper bags, and it refuses glass of any kind, foam, plastic bags and film, batteries, electronics, tires, chemicals, medical waste and scrap metal. Recyclables go loose into the cart or in a paper bag, glass has its own drop-off container at the recycling centers, and washed foam can go to the Styro-Station at University Lutheran Church.

It refuses televisions, computers and phones, hazardous waste, paint, tires, batteries, asbestos, asphalt, dirt, oversized metal and lumber and ammunition. The Household Hazardous Waste Facility at 3803 Chautauqua Avenue takes chemicals by appointment, free to residents, Wednesday through Saturday, and the self-serve areas beside it take tires, scrap metal and most white goods, plus motor oil, oil filters, antifreeze and cooking oil at no cost. A refrigerator, freezer or air conditioning unit is the exception at every gate, because the Freon has to be captured by a certified technician and the unit tagged before the Transfer Station will take it.

Before you book

A few things
worth knowing.

Bulk junk removal, from choosing your item to pickup day in Norman.

How much does bulk junk removal cost in Norman?

A trash bag is $59 as the first item and $10 additional. A filled household box is $59 as the first item. Add your actual items and quantities to see the combined price before booking. Loading, transportation and disposal are included; any applicable sales tax is shown before payment.

Can you pick up bags of junk today?

Book by 2pm in the pickup address’s local time for same-day pickup. Available dates appear at checkout. Have the booked bags and boxes outside and accessible according to your confirmation. You receive pickup updates and completion photos; the booking is for a day rather than an exact arrival time.

Do I count every object inside a bag or box?

No. Count the filled bags or boxes using the matching choice. Books and media go in Filled household box; clothes, bedding and shoes go in Bag of clothes & bedding; packed toys have a Box of toys choice. Empty cardboard is separate, with individual empty boxes and bundles of 10 flattened boxes. Heavy, oversized or unusual contents need a photo review before booking.

Can you pick up a small loose pile of household junk?

Yes. Estimate how many trash bags the small household pile would fill, and bag or box as much as possible. Select furniture and other larger items separately. There is no extra charge just because the pile is loose. Send a photo first if the count or contents are unclear. A household Dumpster Bag choice does not accept construction debris.

Can I book bags, boxes and furniture together?

Yes. Select the bags and boxes, then add each larger item using its own catalog choice. The booking shows one combined price for the selected items. Move everything to an accessible outdoor spot before pickup; indoor carrying and sorting are not included. Keep anything you want to retain apart from the booked items and identify what goes in your photos and notes.

How do I book a bulky item pickup in Norman?

Call the Sanitation Division on (405) 329-1023 and ask for the next available bulky date. The city schedules bulky collection on Saturdays twice a month, the specific Saturdays depend on demand, and the flat bulky fee applies. Bulky pickups are not scheduled while a fall or spring cleanup is running.Official guidance

How does a couch leave a Norman home?

Three city routes take it: a bulky pickup booked on (405) 329-1023 for a flat fee, the fall or spring cleanup when the couch goes out on the household's own collection day, or a self-hauled load at the Transfer Station, where furniture is on the residential accepted list. Furniture may never go in the polycart.Official guidance

Is a mattress free to drop off in Norman?

One mattress or mattress set a day is free for a Norman sanitation customer with a current City of Norman utility bill, and each additional mattress or set carries the published per piece charge. A non-resident dropping only a mattress or set pays the set fee, and a non-resident with other items pays the standard rate on top.Official guidance

Which appliances can go to the free white goods area?

Most scrap metal and white goods are accepted free at the self-serve area between the hazardous waste facility and the Transfer Station, with fuels and oils removed from machines such as mowers and rototillers. Aluminium items, refrigerators, freezers, hot water tanks, dishwashers, air conditioning units and fence materials are the named exclusions.Official guidance

Will Norman take a refrigerator that still holds Freon?

No. The city takes a refrigerator only if it is certified Freon free, and the tag from a certified technician is what proves it. The free white goods area refuses refrigerators, freezers and air conditioning units, so the unit either goes to the Transfer Station for a fee or out on a booked bulky pickup, and the cleanup day refuses an untagged Freon item as well.Official guidance

Where can a television go in Norman?

Not to the Transfer Station, which prohibits televisions, computers and phones as toxic waste, and not to the household hazardous waste facility, which states it cannot accept electronics. The city runs at least one electronics collection event a year with a goal of spring and fall events, and a household that cannot wait is sent to the state list of private recyclers, some of which charge fees.Official guidance

Where does a small remodel load go?

To the Transfer Station at 3901 Chautauqua Avenue, where home remodel material and fence panels are on the residential accepted list at the residential rate with a current City of Norman utility bill. The cleanup day refuses remodeling and demolition debris, and a commercial demolition load pays the higher standard rate.Official guidance

Will Norman take a treadmill?

Exercise equipment is not named on the city's lists, so call the Sanitation Division on (405) 329-1023 and ask which route fits. A booked bulky pickup carries the flat fee, the fall or spring cleanup takes large household items on the household's own collection day, and the Transfer Station takes a self-hauled load at the residential rate.Official guidance

Who collects trash and recycling in Norman?

The City of Norman Sanitation Division, using city polycarts for curbside trash, yard waste and recycling, with the charge on the monthly City utility bill. Recycling is collected every other week on the same day as the trash, a second cart costs a monthly fee, and the division answers on (405) 329-1023.Official guidance

When does the bulky pickup pause?

During the fall and spring cleanups. The city states that bulk pickups are not scheduled during the time of the fall and spring cleanup, so a household with an urgent item either waits for the cleanup day that matches its collection route or takes the load to the Transfer Station.Official guidance

Why is a tag needed on a refrigerator?

Because the city and the Transfer Station only take a unit once the Freon has been captured by a certified technician, and the tag on the unit is what proves the removal happened. The cleanup day applies the same rule to anything containing Freon, and the free white goods area refuses those units entirely.Official guidance

Where do electronics go if the city cannot take them?

The Transfer Station prohibits televisions, computers and phones as toxic waste, and the household hazardous waste facility states it cannot accept electronics, so the city route is its periodic electronics collection event. A household that cannot wait is sent to the Oklahoma Department of Environmental Quality list of private recyclers, and the city warns that some of them charge fees.Official guidance
