Residents must place garbage, recycling, and green waste carts at the curb for collection on their assigned day and remove them after pickup. Specific clearance and timing rules are administered by Lincoln Public Works.
Lincoln Public Works collects garbage and recycling weekly and green waste biweekly using City-issued wheeled carts placed at the curb on the customer's scheduled service day. The City's Solid Waste Services Guide directs residents to set carts out with lid closed, with adequate clearance from cars, mailboxes, and other carts so the automated truck arm can grasp them. Carts left out continuously or blocking sidewalks are subject to nuisance enforcement under Title 8 (Health and Safety) of the Lincoln Municipal Code. Residents who miss their pickup window because the cart was not set out before collection time must request a return trip via the Public Services Request Form and pay the $29.00 callback fee.
Carts left in the public right-of-way outside of collection days, or that obstruct sidewalks, can be cited as a public nuisance under Title 8. The standard missed-pickup callback fee is $29.00.
