Green Acres Recycling

Green Acres Recycling is a neighborhood recycling center on Dahlman Ave that mostly sees homeowners and small-scale drop-offs from the Omaha area. Several folks from nearby properties and small businesses swing by to get rid of cardboard, cans, bottles and other common recyclables. The place aims to keep items out of the regional landfills and handle a mix of everyday materials and occasional specialty drop-offs.

Drive up to a small entrance booth and be prepared to pull into a short queue if it's a weekend or during spring cleanup. There’s a weigh scale near the entrance, so vehicles often stop twice - in and out - and larger loads are handled from the edge of the concrete pad. Recycling bins and roll-off containers sit to the right past the booth, while a couple of covered areas may be used for glass or electronics on busy days. Staff usually direct traffic from the booth, and the site looks like a compact industrial lot with signs over the main drop-off spots.
