Attention Omaha Residents!
The Nebraska State Recycling Association, in partnership with Firstar Fiber, the Green Omaha Coalition and the City of Omaha are conducting a survey about the city's green bin recycling program. We hope to better serve the Omaha community by gaining a better understanding of how you view our recycling program. If you are eligible for participation in the city's green bin recycling program, and are over the age of 18, please take a moment to complete our survey. All information is kept confidential and used for the purposes of this study only. Upon completion of the survey, you will be entered into a drawing to win a HyVee gift card!
