Omaha Adds New Recyclable Items

Get Ready Omaha - we now recycle Juice Boxes and dozens of other aseptic and gable top containers! The Omaha Public Works Department is pleased to announce that gable-top and aseptic food cartons are now recyclable in Omaha's curbside and drop-off site recycling program. Gable-top cartons are containers that you will find in the refrigerated section of the grocery store and hold products such as milk, cream, fresh juice and egg substitutes. Aseptic cartons are containers that are shelf-stable, meaning they have a long shelf life and don't require refrigeration prior to opening, and hold products such as soup, broth, wine, soy milk, juice and milk.
