Omaha Recycling Guide
Plastic Spice Jars
Accepted in City of Omaha Recycling
Place EMPTY plastic bottles in a curbside recycling cart or drop-off site container.
- Rinse to remove contents
- Labels, lids, and caps can stay on
- Keep items loose and DO NOT bag
Tip: Plastic bottles shorter than 3" (or the palm of your hand) should be placed inside a larger plastic container of the same number. (For example: A small #1 bottle can fit inside a larger #1 bottle that you plan to recycle.)
Where Else Could It Go?
EMPTY and CLEAN plastic spice containers can also be placed in an orange Hefty® ReNew® bag.
First Star 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.
