How to Place Carts at the Curb
Follow these guidelines for consistent service.
Place Carts at the Curb 3 Feet Apart: We use automated trucks, so in order to ensure they are emptied, please place them at the curb with the front of the cart facing the street.
All Materials Inside Cart: Anything outside of the carts will not be taken.
Large Items that do not fit in a cart will be your personal responsibility. You can contact us for a bulky pickup order.
RECYCLING
Watch to see how your material will be recycled.
Yes, it gets recycled.
We collect recyclables separately and ensure they actually get recycled by sending them to the area’s top recycling center, First Star Recycling.
Here’s our favorite recycling guide.
The Omaha Recycling Guide is the one-stop shop for all your questions.
Recycling Guide
Note: no glass is acceptable in recycling. Apart from the guide, reference this chart for specific items. And please, no plastic bags unless they are Hefty EnergyBag’s.
Yard Waste
Here’s what we do with your yard waste. No trash please, it will get skipped :)
YES, IT GETS COMPOSTED
Many companies let you mix yard waste in & trash together. That means it’s going to the landfill to put off methane gas for years to come. Instead, we collect yard waste separately and compost it with our affiliate company, Soil Dynamics Composting Farm.
COLLECTION April - November
During this time, we’ll collect your yard waste separately and will compost it. During the off-season, you may use your yard waste cart for landfill.
And you get discounts
Since you helped create it, enjoy an annual 20% discount on any soil, finished compost, and mulch from our Soil Dynamics affiliate.
Yard Waste Guide
Yard Material Only
Please, no plastic bags or plastic, glass, or metal of any kind.
Don’t Let Grass Get Stuck
A common call we get is about grass sticking to the bottom of the cart after service. A proactive way to get around this is to put cardboard or folded yard waste bags at the bottom of your cart.
