Lincoln branch pickup set to start Monday

[April 14, 2007]  The city of Lincoln streets department will begin a citywide canvass for brush on Monday. Brush must be curbside by 7 a.m. Streets Superintendent Tracy Jackson said, "There will be no going back once we pass, so that we can cover the whole city in a timely fashion."

Landfill hours expand for season

In addition, starting on Tuesday, the city of Lincoln landfill will be open weekdays, Tuesday through Friday, from 8 a.m. to 3:50 p.m., until May 13. It will not be open on Mondays.

Starting on May 16, the city landfill will be open later hours each Wednesday, 10 a.m. to 5:50 p.m., and will begin being open on Saturdays from 8 a.m. to 3:50 p.m.

Only landscape waste will be accepted.

The landfill has abundance of free mulch and ashes available for gardens.
