Full Breakdown

Because the unincorporated county runs no collection system, there is no county bulk-item route. To get rid of furniture, mattresses or appliances, schedule an extra pickup with your private hauler, often for a fee, or self-haul to the Sarpy County Transfer Station near Springfield, which takes bulky waste, appliances and tires for a posted fee. Inside the cities, residents may get a scheduled or on-call bulky-item pickup through the city's contract. What the county and state do police is dumping. Nebraska makes depositing waste on public or private ground the offense of littering, and dumped debris can also be abated as a nuisance.

Violations & Fines

Littering under Neb. Rev. Stat. 28-523 is a Class III misdemeanor, rising to a Class II on a second offense and Class I on a third. Dumped debris can also be abated at the owner's cost.
