Trash & Recycling
Trash and Recycling
Trash pickup effective for 2021 will be on
FRIDAY
and
recycling will be
EVERY OTHER FRIDAY (group B). This may change during Holiday
weeks and during severe weather, (you can sign up for collection weather delay notification emails here). To ensure proper pick-up of the trash please make sure your trash cart is at the curb by 6 A.M WEEKLY. Make sure BOTH trash and recycling carts are at the carb BI-WEEKLY.
Service is provided and paid for by the City of Omaha.
Each resident should have been provided a cart with the BLACK LID which is for your garbage AND yard waste. Think of it as your waste cart (garbage + yard waste = waste). The cart with the GREEN LID is for your recyclables. On the front of each cart is a serial number identifying them as yours. Your waste cart will be picked up weekly on your current collection day. Your recycling cart will be picked up every other week on your current collection day.
Details for disposing of appliance and hazardous waste, can be found at the City of Omaha's Waste disposal website.
Details for recycling in your cart as well as glass, plastic bags, styrofoam and the hefty energy bag program can be found at KEEP OMAHA BEAUTIFUL!
