Summary
No county bulk pickup exists in unincorporated Sarpy County. Arrange large-item removal through your hauler or self-haul to the Sarpy County Transfer Station. Dumping trash on the ground is criminal littering under Neb. Rev. Stat. 28-523.
The word litter as used in this section shall mean all waste material susceptible of being dropped, deposited, discarded, or otherwise disposed of by any person upon any property in the state but does not include wastes of primary processes of farming or manufacturing.
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.
