Frequently Asked Questions

Can I drop off glass bottles at the 6404 S 60th St site?

Yes. Glass bottles and jars are accepted free of charge in a dedicated purple container at this full-service site. Glass cannot go in Omaha's green-lid curbside carts, so the drop-off is the primary option for residential glass recycling.

Is there a charge to drop off recyclables?

Standard recyclables — cans, plastics, paper, cardboard, cartons, and glass — are accepted free. Bulky items such as furniture, mattresses, and construction debris are accepted for a fee. Call 402-889-8721 for current bulky-item rates.

What are the Saturday hours, and do they change by season?

Saturday hours vary: from Easter through Thanksgiving the site is open 6:00 AM–1:00 PM; from Thanksgiving through Easter it closes earlier at 11:30 AM. Weekdays (Monday–Friday) remain 6:00 AM–4:00 PM year-round.
