Nebraska mandates no household recycling, and unincorporated Sarpy County requires nothing separated. Recycling is voluntary, through a hauler's optional cart or drop-off sites. Cities like Papillion and La Vista run their own curbside programs.
No Nebraska statute forces households to recycle, and Sarpy County imposes no separation rule in unincorporated areas. Diversion is entirely voluntary. Some private haulers offer an add-on recycling cart for an extra fee; otherwise residents use metro drop-off recycling, including sites the county and Keep Omaha Beautiful help publicize. Cities set their own programs: Papillion, La Vista and other municipalities include or contract curbside recycling for residents inside their limits. Nothing at the county level requires you to recycle or penalizes putting recyclables in the trash, so participation is a choice, not a duty in the unincorporated county.
There is no penalty for not recycling in unincorporated Sarpy County. No county or state rule requires household diversion, so placing recyclables in your trash breaks no law.
