Solid Waste Services

Solid Waste Services in Tahlequah is the local spot for dropping off household trash, yard debris and common recyclables. Neighbors from town and outlying areas use it for routine cleanups and larger loads after storms. The site sits on N. Douglas near the Tahlequah History Trail and handles typical municipal solid waste needs.

Expect a marked entrance with a booth where vehicles stop before entering the main tipping area; large trucks and pickups share the same lanes. There is usually a scale and separate piles or containers for different kinds of material, so drivers pull up, unload, then exit past the scale again. The yard looks like a working industrial site-gravel or paved driving surfaces, piles of brush or mixed materials, and a few roll-off bins or concrete bunkers. Busy times can back up traffic, and wind can scatter loose debris, so keep loads secured.
