Norman operates a transfer station, not a landfill - collected waste is hauled to the Oklahoma Landfill at 7600 SW 15th St. in Oklahoma City. Yard waste goes to the city Compost Facility (398 Bratcher Miner Rd) and hazardous waste to the HHW Facility - not to the Transfer Station. Curbside recycling is every other week. The city publishes no online fee schedule for scheduled curbside bulk pickup - call (405) 329-1023. No city-published e-waste program found; the HHW facility and Transfer Station both prohibit electronics.
