A county-run recycling center in the Plattsmouth area that locals use to keep household and farm-related recyclables out of the landfill. Neighbors drop off everyday items and sometimes larger stuff from the farm or garage, especially during cleanup season.
This type of site usually looks like a compact yard with a drive-up lane, a few large bins or roll-off containers, and a small office or kiosk at the entrance. Expect to sort materials into paper, cardboard, glass, metals and plastics, with periodic special collections for things like electronics or bulky items. Weekends and spring cleanup bring the biggest lines, so there can be a short wait to pull up to the proper bin.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Bring items already separated by material-loose paper, flattened cardboard, and metals in a separate load make drop-off faster.
- Have straps or a tarp ready for bulky loads so things don’t shift while hauling; pick-up trucks and trailers are common here.
- Plan for a short delay on weekend mornings or during seasonal cleanups, and be prepared that many local centers charge by weight or have a minimum fee.
