Frequently Asked Questions

Is the 27th & Tamarin Ridge recycling drop-off open 24 hours?

Yes. Like most City of Lincoln recyclables collection sites, this location is open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. No attendant is on duty. Two other consolidated sites (North 48th St Transfer Station and the Russ's Market site) have limited hours, but 27th & Tamarin Ridge does not.

Can I recycle glass bottles at the 27th & Tamarin Ridge drop-off in Lincoln?

Yes. Green, brown, and clear glass bottles and jars are accepted. Note that glass is not accepted in Lincoln's curbside recycling pickup — the drop-off sites are the only free option for glass in Lincoln.

Can my small business drop off recyclables at this Lincoln collection site?

No. These sites are restricted to household (residential) use only. Businesses and contractors must arrange separate recycling collection services or self-haul to a licensed recycling processor. Contact the City at recycle@lincoln.ne.gov or 402-441-8215 for guidance.
