Yard waste collection in Omaha will begin the week of April 6-10. Yardwaste collection has steadily increased which results in less going to the land fill. There is a catch though. If there is too much brown waste, which is leaves, to green waste, the excess needs to go to the land fill anyway. Unfortunately 4000 tons of yeard waste had to go to the land fill due to this imbalance. For more information on yard waste call 402-444-4500 which is the Public Works Department for the city of Omaha. Yard waste is made into a natural compost product called Omagro. This product can e purchased at many local garden supply stores or directly from the City of Omaha Composting Facility, 15705 Harlan Lewis Road, Bellevue NE 68123. The phone number is 402-444-6665.
