The Kickapoo Street recycling bins across from Latham Park were replaced this year with bigger bins.  Grated metal steps and a platform were recently added. The bins are open to the public to dispose of metal cans, No. 1 and 2 plastics, and paper. Logan County Joint Solid Waste Agency hosts the bins placed on city of Lincoln property.
