Separate Glass & Plastic Film Recycling

Glass Recycling

If you would like to recycle your glass, you must take it to an Omaha recycling drop-off site. Glass is NOT accepted curbside in your green recycling bin because it contaminates the other recyclables, is dangerous for recycling employees, and is problematic for recycling machinery.
Plastic Wrap/Film Recycling

Info about the types of soft film/wrap plastic (e.g., retail plastic bags) that can be recycled and where to take this material (supermarkets & retail store locations). Film/wrap plastic is NOT accepted curbside in your green recycling bin because it jams up and damages recycling machinery.
