Recycling right is easy and impactful!
Recycling can help reduce reliance on a landfill, conserve resources, and save energy. But when it comes to what’s accepted for recycling, every community is different. That’s why it’s important to follow the guidelines specific to our city.
The Omaha Recycling Guide is designed to help residents in the City of Omaha (Nebraska) understand what items are accepted in our curbside and drop-off recycling program. By recycling the right items in the right way, you help improve the overall quality of our City’s recycled materials. Recycling right also prevents damage to equipment, is safer for workers who handle the materials, and keeps contamination out.
