Solid waste collection in Lincoln is provided directly by the City of Lincoln Public Works Department (not a private franchise hauler). Garbage and recycling are collected weekly; green waste is collected on a biweekly schedule by service zone.
The City of Lincoln Public Works Department (600 6th Street, (916) 434-2450) operates trash, recycling, and green waste collection in-house. Standard service is one garbage can at $37.46/month with an optional second can at $17.03/month, billed through Utility Billing ((916) 434-2430). Holidays that fall on a weekday are serviced on the normal schedule. Green waste is collected on a biweekly schedule using a blue/yellow zone system documented in the published Green Waste Calendar. The City publishes 'Your Guide to Solid Waste Services' and an interactive Garbage Schedule map. Missed pickups that result from the resident failing to set the can out require a Public Services Request Form and a $29.00 return-pickup fee.
Missed-pickup callbacks caused by the resident not setting cans out are charged a $29.00 return fee. Account-related enforcement (non-payment, unauthorized service changes) is handled through Utility Billing.
