Lincoln to host citywide cleanup drop-off day April 17th
Bring unwanted items to the Municipal Services building on Limit Street

 

[April 14, 2021] 

The City of Lincoln will host a citywide cleanup and tire collection at the Lincoln Municipal Services Building at 313 Limit Street.

The purpose of this cleanup is to give the residents of Lincoln an opportunity to dispose of large bulky items and other things that would not normally be picked up during regular weekly waste collection.

The cleanup will take place on Saturday, April 17, 2021 between the hours of 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.

Residents should enter the facility off of Limit Street, stay to the right, and continue all the way around the building to the unloading area at the southwest corner (see map above). After unloading your vehicle, stay to the right, and exit back on to Limit Street. There will be staff from the City and Area Disposal to assist with unloading. Photo I.D. is required to show proof of residency.
