City Of Omaha: Free Yard Waste Collectio ...

Press release from the City of Omaha:

September 13, 2021

Fall begins later this month, and the City of Omaha Public Works Department is preparing for the annual neighborhood cleanup and the curbside collection of fall yard waste.

The neighborhood cleanup schedule includes 31 locations beginning Saturday October 2 and continues for the next three Saturdays, ending on October 24.  Each week includes a site designated for disposal of tires, appliances and yard waste. (schedule attached)

The Fall Cleanup program is a partnership between the City of Omaha and participating neighborhood/homeowner associations. The annual free event is an opportunity to recycle or dispose of large and bulky items that are not accepted through curbside waste or recycling services such as old furniture, appliances, tires, and mattresses.  Some items are not accepted including rocks and concrete, construction debris, propane tanks, and household hazardous waste.

The free, unlimited fall yard waste collection will begin the week of October 18 and continue through November 27.  FCC Environmental will pick up yard waste that is placed in brown bags and set at the curb with weekly garbage and recycling collections.  Pre-paid stickers are not required during this six-week period. All yard waste collected during this time will be collected separately and used to produce Oma-Gro that will be available next year.

Residents who receive special collection services can put yard waste bags at their usual collection location for pickup, however, only bags at the curb will be collected separately.
