Heat causes solid waste collection delays in Omaha this week

(Omaha, NE) -- This week's extreme heat is causing delays in trash collection in Omaha.

The Omaha Public Works Department says that due to the extreme temperatures the city's recycling and garbage collection contractor, FCC Environmental Services of Nebraska, is experiencing an unforeseen staffing shortage. Public works says some areas may experience unexpected delays in solid waste services.

The city says residents should follow their normal collection schedule and place carts out for collection by 6 AM on their regularly scheduled day of collection. If materials are not collected in their area, residents should leave any uncollected materials at their set out location. FCC Environmental Services of Nebraska will be returning to areas of known misses the following day or later in the week.

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