Yard waste drop-off and free mulch in Nebraska
Depending on the town, yard waste drop-off may be listed as leaf and brush drop-off or yard debris drop-off. We list 6 sites in Nebraska (all from official sources); 2 take brush and branches. 1 of the 6 list a residency or eligibility rule on the source page, so bring ID or a utility bill. 2 are seasonal or event-only and 4 do not have a confirmed map pin yet. Coverage for Nebraska is still thin — many towns and counties run programs we haven't listed yet, so check your city or county public works page too.
By type: 6 yard waste drop-off, 1 compost pickup, 2 brush & branches.
Call ahead. Hours, fees, residency rules and accepted materials change. Call or check the official source page before you go. Every listing links to its source.
