Small, no-frills neighborhood waste drop-off a few miles north of downtown Lincoln at 4600 N 48th St. Farmers, renters and folks doing yard cleanup use it - more of a practical stop than anything fancy. Expect a working, industrial feel rather than a landscaped public park.
Drive up to an entrance booth and be ready to stop; there’s usually a weigh scale for vehicles so traffic can slow coming in and out. The site is mostly open lots with piles and compactors visible from the driveway; pull up to the booth first to find out where to go. Recycling containers are commonly placed near the entry/exit lanes, with larger drop-off areas set farther back in the yard. Lines form on weekend mornings and during spring cleanup, so there can be a short wait.

- Bring a tarp or straps for loose loads - wind can make a mess on the drive home if things aren’t secured.
- If hauling a trailer, approach slowly and give extra room for backing; the lots are big but blind spots are real.
- Try to come midweek or midafternoon to avoid the busiest blocks of time like weekend mornings and spring cleanup weekends.
