About this center

The City of Bartlesville's recycling center, located at 840 SW 10th Street, is currently closed. The California-based operator Replenysh, which had run the city-owned facility since 2021, ended its arrangement with the City in May 2025; the City is researching potential replacement services. Separately, the City's Public Works department continues to provide weekly residential refuse collection and commercial waste pickup (up to six times per week) using automated trucks and polycarts throughout Bartlesville. Yard waste collection is offered twice annually, typically in spring and fall, and residents can dispose of bulky items at Osage Landfill using the City's annual clean-up coupon.

Frequently asked questions

Is the Bartlesville recycling center open?

No. The City-owned recycling center at 840 SW 10th Street is currently closed. Replenysh, the company that operated it since 2021, ended its arrangement with the City in May 2025. The City is researching potential future services.

How often is residential trash collected?

Residents receive once-a-week curbside collection using automated trucks that lift city-issued polycarts. Collection days vary by area; check the City's sanitation routes map for your specific day.

What happens to trash collection on holidays?

During weeks containing a holiday, all customers—regardless of whether their normal day falls before or after the holiday—will be serviced on Wednesday of that week instead.

How do I dispose of bulky or large items?

The City does not collect bulky items such as furniture and appliances curbside. Residential solid waste customers receive an annual coupon for one free trip to Osage Landfill (open Monday–Friday 8 a.m.–4 p.m. and Saturday 9 a.m.–noon). Appliances must be certified Freon-free if the compressor has not been removed.

Cleanest most efficient recycling center I have ever seen! Nice helpful staff! If you don't bring an attitude you won't get one. Be nice!

It has been closed for more than several months. Is there no other place Bartlesville can take the recycles to except Tulsa? This is ridiculous. And when you do finally open up please take glass. Why doesn’t Bartlesville have a dedicated recycle center? I guess you don’t mind filling up the landfill with material that should be recycled. You have Phillips and they could recycle plastic yes?

CLOSED for months Bartlesville Recycling is reflective of the bass-ackwards thinking endemic in this area. Even when it was open they didn't take glass. Screw the Earth! Coastal folks will just print money and bail us out.. A-GAIN! They always do. It's a good thing we have all of them edu-muh-cated folks on the coasts to fix all of our problems or we'd be REALLY up a creek!
