Yard Waste Defined
Yard Waste is defined as grass clippings and leaf waste only. These items must be segregated from other wastes because the end product is composted and returned to the soil.
Please do not include: plastic bags, non-biodegradable substances, tree limbs, branches, garden waste, woody plants or prunings.
Yard Waste Services with Waste Connections of Nebraska
Weekly and Bi-Weekly Service
Customers can request weekly or bi-weekly pick up of yard waste. A 95 gallon residential cart is provided with this service. An additional cart can be added to the service if needed for an additional fee.
The yard waste cart needs to be at the curb by 6 AM Thursday mornings. To request this service call 402-644-8300 or contact us.
On Call Yard Waste
For residents who only generate yard waste a couple times of year, we offer on call service. If a yard waste pick up is needed, please call us at 402-644-8300 prior to noon on Wednesday the day before Thursday's pick up.
We prefer the yard waste to be in cans if possible, otherwise we have to remove all bags before loading the yard waste into the truck.
Benefits of Yard Waste Pickup
Ask The Can!
To dispose of yard waste, you can sign up for our specialized yard waste removal services. Place your leaves, grass clippings, and other biodegradable yard waste in a 30-gallon paper bag. Some locations offer pickup for larger items like branches and sticks. Check with your local office and bundle them separately, ensuring each bundle is no longer than 4 feet and weighs less than 40 pounds.
Yard waste should not be mixed with regular household trash for several reasons. Yard waste can be turned into valuable compost, a process which regular trash hinders. Also, keeping yard waste separate is often required by local or state laws and guidelines in order to promote recycling and reduce landfill waste.
Items like leaves, grass clippings, and smaller twigs can be composted. Please avoid putting non-biodegradable items or hazardous materials in your yard waste bags or bundles.
The size of the bag is not mandatory, but the material is crucial. We highly recommend using a paper bag for yard waste because it is compostable. This makes the disposal process more eco-friendly and efficient.
