Omaha Recycling Guide
Dental Floss
Not Accepted, Alternative Options Available
DO NOT place this item in a City of Omaha curbside recycling cart or drop-off site container.
Place dental floss and plastic floss containers in the garbage, or use an alternative option.
Where Else Could It Go?
EMPTY dental floss containers with any metal parts removed can be placed in an orange Hefty® ReNew® bag. Plastic dental floss strings are ok too.
FirstStar Recycling offers this special program to collect hard-to-recycle plastics in our community. To participate, you can purchase orange Hefty® ReNew® bags, which will be collected through your existing curbside and drop-off site services. When filled with accepted materials and tied shut, the bright orange Hefty® ReNew® bag is the ONLY bag that can be placed in a curbside recycling cart or drop-off site container.
