Commercial Recycling Requirements
Apart from residential or small organizations using 96-gallon carts, a functioning recycling program in the Omaha area that uses dumpsters requires Dual-Stream Recycling. Check our blog post for the most current info.
Residential Recycling
If you need to hire a provider, we suggest using the Curbside Rewards program that we pick up on behalf of First Star Recycling. Otherwise, if the City of Omaha provides you a service, check out wasteline.org for info.
