Showing ordinances that apply to King Lake, NE
King Lake is an unincorporated community (population 114) in Douglas County, Nebraska. Because King Lake is not an incorporated city, it does not have its own municipal code. Instead, Douglas County ordinances apply directly to properties here. The trash bin storage rules below are the ones that govern your area.
Omaha requires trash and recycling carts (provided by the city's contracted hauler) to be stored out of public view between collection days and placed at the curb no earlier than the evening before pickup. Bins must be retrieved within 24 hours.
Solid waste collection in Omaha is provided through the city-contracted hauler using standardized 96-gallon brown trash carts and green recycling carts. Omaha Municipal Code Chapter 18 (Garbage and Refuse) requires residents to store carts so they are not visible from the street between collection days — typically behind a fence, in a garage, on the side of the house, or behind a screen. Carts may be placed at the curb after 5 PM the evening before collection and must be returned to the storage location by midnight on collection day. Lids must be closed; extra bags outside the cart are collected only through the Omaha overflow bag program or arranged separately. Unincorporated Douglas County relies on subscription hauling with similar set-out rules by ordinance of the individual sanitary improvement district or through county nuisance code. Commercial dumpsters must be screened per Omaha Chapter 55 zoning.
Cart left visible between collections: Omaha code enforcement warning, then citation $50 per occurrence. Overflowing cart with lid open: $50 citation plus hauler refusal. Repeat violations: escalating fines up to $500, possible lien against property.
