Recycling at home can be a rewarding activity for the entire family. Proper care must be
taken, however, to prevent the collected materials from compromising the public health of our
community. Improper storage of recyclable materials can create foul odors and attract roaches,
flies, bees, mice and rats. The following items are accepted at numerous recycling drop off
sites throughout Lincoln. For more information call: Lincoln Recycling Hotline (402) 441-8215.
#1 and #2 Plastic and 2-Liter : All bottles and jugs should be thoroughly rinsed out and flattened before being placed in a collection or storage container. Remove the caps and neck rings. Only #2 plastic containers whose opening is larger than the bottom are recyclable at Lincoln's drop off sites. Yogurt, margarine, or cottage cheese type containers should NOT be included with other #2 plastic bottles.
