Trash Collection Guidelines

Trash service includes one 95 gallon trash cart picked up weekly. We will pick up most household trash that will fit inside this container. We ask that all items be at the curb by 6:00 am on your pick up day and placed away from mailboxes, cars, fences, light poles, etc.

  • Branches, Bulky Items, and Trash Service Guidelines
    Branches and brush are considered trash and must be cut into 4 foot lengths, tied in bundles 3 feet in circumference and placed beside the trash cart. For an additional fee, we will pick up bulky items such as furniture, carpet, etc. Please call our office to schedule a pick up. The standard price for trash service is dependent upon the service area. All accounts carry a $15.00 cancellation fee if service is stopped.

Yard waste materials are restricted from refuse collection April through November. Billing is year round, although seasonal billing is available upon request at a higher rate.

Roll Off Service in Southeast Nebraska

Moving or making home improvements?

We provide a variety of temporary open-top roll-off containers suitable for home renovations, building cleanouts, and construction site debris management.

  • Placement
    Roll-Offs should not be placed under power lines; doing so puts Waste Connections vehicles and waste collection specialists in unnecessary danger.
  • Overload
    To ensure you receive prompt and accurate roll-off service, it is vital that you DO NOT overload your roll-off container.
  • Toxic items
    No toxic or hazardous liquids and/or flammable items are allowed in your roll-off container.
