Frequently Asked Questions

Can I drop off recyclables directly at the First Star facility on I Street in Omaha?

The I Street address (10330 I St, Suite 100) is First Star's corporate office and material recovery facility rather than an advertised public walk-in drop-off counter. To use First Star's services, contact them at 402-894-0003 or recycle@firstarfiber.com to set up curbside collection or an Orange Bag subscription.

What is the Orange Bag Program?

It is a subscription service offered by First Star Recycling in which customers receive bright orange bags to collect plastic film and other hard-to-recycle plastics that standard single-stream curbside programs cannot handle. The collected material is converted into plastic lumber products.

What plastics does First Star Recycling accept?

Through their single-stream program, they accept plastic containers, bottles, milk jugs, deli-style containers, and similar rigid plastics labeled #1–#7. Hard-to-recycle plastic film can be collected separately through the Orange Bag program.
