For most of the Tulsa Metro area, power has been restored. PSO estimated on Tuesday that there are still 839 customers without power. PSO spokesperson Wayne Green said on Monday, “”We continue to get new outages. Since [8:00 a.m.] we’ve had another hundred outages reported.”   He reassured those without power that crews were working as quickly as they can to restore power.

There are still mountains of debris to be removed and damages to homes, businesses, infrastructure  and trees to be addressed.  The City of Tulsa has information as to how some of these needs can be addressed.

For the debris there is Residential Curbside Greenwaste Pickup and the Greenwaste Site available.

Residential curbside greenwaste pickup is expected to occur in the coming weeks. To prepare, residents should cut their green waste into 5-foot sections and neatly stack it parallel to the curb. Please note, no storm debris (shingles, lumber, household goods, etc.) should be included in your greenwaste piles. Storm debris will not be picked up. For more information on greenwaste pickup, visit www.cityoftulsa.org/weather.

The City of Tulsa Mulch Site is closed, but an additional location at E. Latimer St. & N. 89th E. Ave. (map) has been made available for residential customers. The location is open daily from 7 a.m. – 7 p.m. Please note, no storm debris (shingles, lumber, household goods, etc.) should be included in your greenwaste drop-offs. For more information on greenwaste drop-off, visit www.cityoftulsa.org/weather.

There are an increasing number of calls about citizens burning storm debris within the city limits of Tulsa. It is illegal to do so. The fire marshal will be issuing tickets to individuals that choose to ignore the city statute. Learn more about fire safety tips at www.cityoftulsa.org/weather.
