POLYCARTS: SIZES & RATES

The City of Bartlesville provides one 96 gallon polycart to every residential property or commercial property not using a commercial container. Occupants can acquire a cart of a different capacity, or acquire additional carts for $9 per month fee per additional cart by calling 918.338.4224.

Every owner and occupant of a residential property, or commercial property with cart service, will have refuse collected and disposed of once a week on a scheduled collection day as set on this map.  

COLLECTION DATES & TIMES

All residential customers must have their carts placed at the collection point no later than 6 a.m. the morning of collection. All residential carts must be removed from the collection point no later than 10 p.m. the day of collection. All commercial customers must have carts placed at the collection point no later than 5 a.m. the morning of collection.

When a holiday falls on a scheduled collection day, the affected residential route  will be serviced on Wednesday of the same week, whether the holiday falls on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday or Friday.

BAGGING REQUIREMENTS

All waste is to be bagged and placed inside the cart. Carts should be loosely packed so that contents will discharge freely when the cart is inverted.

Any residential waste that is outside the cart must be bagged or bundled and must have the appropriate refuse disposal sticker affixed to each bag or bundle outside the cart.
