TULSA, Okla. – The City of Tulsa is doing its part to help keep you warm.
Residents of Tulsa, Bixby, and Jenks can pick up free firewood at the Mulch site located at 2100 N. 145th East Ave.
To pick up your free firewood, you must show your driver’s license or current city utility bill.
“The free firewood program is part of our efforts to reuse natural resources and provide valuable services to the community,” said Philip Eakes, Refuse & Recycling Manager for the City of Tulsa. “Not only does it help residents save money on heating costs, but it also reduces waste by repurposing trees that would otherwise be disposed of.”
The city says residents must load their own firewood and should bring tools or equipment to help with loading.
Firewood Pickup Details:
Location: Tulsa Mulch Site, 2100 N. 145th East Ave.
Days/Hours: Sunday – Tuesday, Thursday – Sunday | 7:30 a.m. – 4:30 p.m.
The City of Tulsa says the free firewood is untreated and may contain bark, dirt, or other natural debris. While it is ideal for outdoor fireplaces, fire pits, and wood-burning stoves, residents should ensure the firewood is properly dried before using it indoors to minimize smoke hazards.
Residents are encouraged to practice safety when burning wood and to check the City of Tulsa burn ban status.
