Heat Could Slow Omaha Solid Waste Collection

The City of Omaha Public Works Department, Environmental Quality Division, says some Omaha residents may see delays in solid waste collections because of the excessive heat wave.

Omaha contractor "FCC Environmental" is putting in safety measures such as additional cooling breaks, which may result in some areas being collected the following day.

Omaha residents are asked to have carts set out by 6 a.m. on the day of collection.

The city says if the cart is not collected on the designated day of collection, please leave it at the set out location the following day.

Missed collections may be reported to the Solid Waste Hotline at 402-444-5238 after 7:00 p.m. on the scheduled collection day.
