LINCOLN–(KFOR Mar. 29)–Beginning Tuesday, April 1, Lincoln garbage collectors will collect grass and leaves (yard waste), separately from household trash. State law requires that from April 1 through November 30, yard waste must be separated from other household waste. Tree trimmings, garden waste, and weeds may be included with regular household garbage.
- Hire a lawn service to collect yard waste.
- Use a mower to mulch yard waste and leave the mulch on the yard to help add nutrients to the soil.
- Place only grass and leaves in paper yard waste bags and haul them to the North 48th Street Solid Waste Management Facility, 5101 North 48th St., to dispose of for a fee.
