Recycling in Omaha: A Local Guide
Omaha pairs a broad private recycling network with a city-run curbside program, so you have 33 listed drop-off points, scrap yards and buy-back sites to choose from across the metro. Household recycling is handled through Wasteline, the City of Omaha solid waste program under Public Works: recyclables are collected curbside every other week in a blue cart on your regular trash day, while trash and yardwaste run weekly. You can confirm your pickup day and cart rules on the city's site, and compare more Nebraska cities on our Nebraska recycling hub.
Beyond the curb, Omaha's listed centers cover the hard-to-toss items. For household hazardous waste and batteries, Under The Sink is the metro's dedicated HHW drop-off for residents. Scrap metal is bought and processed at yards like Alter Metal Recycling - Omaha and Scrap Central, electronics and computers go to Motherboard | Electronics Recycling With A Mission, and paper and cardboard are handled at fiber recyclers such as Firstar Fiber Recycling Center. Call ahead to confirm accepted items, fees and hours, which vary by site.
If you are outside Omaha or want a second option, nearby Nebraska cities have their own listings: Lincoln (25 centers), Grand Island, Columbus, Norfolk and North Platte. You can also browse every community on the Nebraska state hub to find the closest drop-off for your material.
