Next to the North 48th Street facility. Doesn't take latex paint (dry it out). Wednesdays run to 6 p.m. from May through August. The GoodToGo reuse store gives away usable products.
At North 48th Street, these must be sorted out and placed in their own areas for recycling: grass, leaves and brush; appliances; metals; tires; waste oil; and lead-acid batteries. Material should be cut to 6 feet or less, and every load must be covered and secured.
Nebraska law keeps grass, leaves and other yard waste out of landfills from April 1 through November 30, so bring it separately to the yard waste or compost area. Car batteries, waste oil, tires and household appliances can't be buried at all; landfills take tires and appliances for a fee and send them to recycling.
