Omaha Fall Cleanup will be coming up in October. To dispose of bulky items at other times read up on the bulky disposal program by clicking here.
The Fall Cleanup program is a joint effort between the City of Omaha and participating neighborhood or homeowner associations. The annual free event provides Omaha residents with the opportunity to recycle or dispose of large or bulky items that are not accepted through curbside waste services (such as old furniture, appliances, and mattresses). Please note that tires will no longer be collected as part of Omaha’s Spring Cleanup. A new, separate tire collection will be announced.
Fall Cleanup is open to all City of Omaha households. Residents do not have to be a member of a neighborhood or homeowner association to participate. Only residential household items are accepted (commercial waste is prohibited). Residents must unload their own vehicle, no assistance will be provided.
Dates
The 2026 Fall Cleanup will take place on four Saturdays of October (10/3, 10/10, 10/17, 10/24). Each Saturday, multiple neighborhoods in a specific section of the city will accept items for disposal and recycling between 9:00 AM – 2:00 PM.
