A Household Pollutant Disposal Special Event is scheduled for March 30, from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the City of Tulsa’s Household Pollutant Collection Facility, 4502 S. Galveston Ave.

In addition to the usually accepted items (listed below), special items accepted only at this event are tires, e-waste (television – $21 fee; monitor – $10 fee), medications and ammunition. No appointment is necessary for the event.
