TULSA (KFAQ) - Tulsa residents and property owners who have experienced tree limb damage as a result of the ice storm have several options for disposal.
Tulsa residents who are able to haul tree limb debris may take it truckloads of debris to the City of Tulsa’s Greenwaste sites. The City opened a second tree debris drop off site for Tulsa residents. The two Greenwaste site locations open and read for drop off are:
56th Street North between North Mingo Road and U.S. 169
West 71st Street, west of the Arkansas River and east of South Elwood Avenue
Tulsa residents with a driver’s license or a utility bill with a City of Tulsa address can drop off tree debris free of charge at either site seven days a week from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Commercial lawn companies should continue to take their green waste to the site located at 56th Street North.
Another option for Tulsa property owners is to place limbs just behind the curb of their property for eventual removal by the City. Residents who are able to drag tree limbs and debris to the curb may leave it there and call the Mayor’s Action Center at 596.2100 to be placed on a list for removal. Public Works crews will be working for several weeks to clear debris from arterial rights-of-way and residential neighborhoods.
Once conditions in neighborhoods are safe and there are no signs of fallen power lines or hanging/weakened tree limbs, residents can bundle tree debris into four-foot by two-foot bundles and leave them at the curb for regular trash pickup.
Residents are cautioned not to handle tree limbs near downed power lines. All power lines should be considered “live” and dangerous.
