Omaha offers periodic bulk item pickup and operates a yard waste disposal site. Large items like furniture and appliances can be collected curbside with advance scheduling through the city's waste hauler.
Residents can schedule bulk item pickup through FCC Environmental Services for large items that don't fit in the standard cart. Common bulk items include furniture, mattresses, and appliances (Freon-containing appliances may have additional requirements). Electronics and hazardous waste require separate disposal at designated drop-off locations. The city holds periodic amnesty collection events for large quantities. Construction debris requires private hauling to approved disposal facilities.
Dumping bulk items on vacant lots, public property, or in dumpsters not assigned to you is illegal dumping subject to fines up to $500 and potential criminal charges. Improper disposal of hazardous materials carries additional penalties.
