(Omaha, NE) -- Trash collection in Omaha is cancelled on Thursday and Friday due to the impending major winter storm.
The Omaha Public Works Department says that Solid Waste collections are being cancelled on Thursday and Friday, December 22nd and 23rd due inclement weather and safety concerns. Public Works says residents in the Thursday and Friday collection areas will be able to set out bagged and/or canned garbage in addition to their garbage cart(s) for collection next week. The city says additional garbage could cause some delays, so residents should leave their materials out and available for collection. Any uncollected areas from Wednesday will also be able to set out additional materials next week.
Public Works says cancelled or unfinished recycle collections this week will have to hold on to the recyclable materials until their next scheduled day of collection. Residents may use the City’s recycling drop off locations, go to wasteline.org for information on those locations. Missed collections may be reported to the Solid Waste Hotline at 402-444-5238 after 7:00PM on the rescheduled collection day.
