Lincoln residents can self-haul bulky items such as furniture and appliances to the city's North 48th Street Transfer Station (5101 N. 48th St), which charges per-load disposal fees. The Bluff Road Landfill takes commercial hauler loads and yard waste. Many private haulers also offer bulky-item pickup for an extra fee.
The City of Lincoln operates two solid-waste facilities. The North 48th Street Transfer Station (5101 N. 48th St, 402-441-8102) is the main drop-off for county residents self-hauling smaller loads and accepts solid waste, appliances, and furniture for per-load disposal fees. The Bluff Road Landfill (6001 Bluff Road) is primarily for commercial garbage haulers and also runs a yard-waste composting area open to residents in smaller vehicles. Fees are set by the city solid-waste rate schedule and adjust periodically, so confirm current pricing before hauling. Private licensed haulers also offer scheduled bulky-item pickup. Depositing waste anywhere other than an approved facility is illegal (LMC 8.32.030).
Illegal dumping instead of using an approved facility is a misdemeanor under LMC 8.32.030 (up to $500 fine and/or six months jail). Transfer-station and landfill loads are charged the posted per-load or per-ton fee.
