Lincoln Solid Waste is the city’s general drop-off for household trash, yard clippings, and common recyclables, used by Lincoln residents and nearby rural folks. It’s a working, no-frills place where pickups, trailers, and small dump trucks come and go.
Pull up to a small entrance area with a booth or office where vehicles are checked before heading into the yard. The site is a big open lot with piles and containers for different kinds of material; signs and arrows usually point the way once past the gate. Expect to drive slowly through the yard and stop at different spots to unload depending on the material. Weekends, and spring cleanup time in particular, often have lines and more traffic than weekday mornings.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Cover loose loads with a tarp or secure them so debris doesn’t blow out while driving through the facility.
- Sort recyclables and yard waste from mixed trash at home-having those separated cuts down on extra trips around the yard.
- Avoid mid-morning weekends if possible; early weekday visits are typically quicker when local cleanup activity is lower.
