The Fall Cleanup program is a joint effort between the City of Omaha and participating neighborhood/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 or recycling services (such as old furniture, appliances, tires, and mattresses).
Fall Cleanup is open to all City of Omaha households. Residents do not have to be a member of a neighborhood/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 2022 Fall Cleanup takes place on the first four Saturdays in October (10/1, 10/8, 10/15, 10/22). 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.
