Swiffer® Products
Not Accepted, Alternative Options Available
DO NOT place this item in City of Omaha curbside recycling carts or drop-off site containers.
Place Swiffer® brand pads in the garbage if you cannot reuse them, or use an alternative option.
Where Else Could It Go?
Used Swiffer® brand pads can be placed in an orange Hefty® ReNew® bag. Dry the item out before placing it in the orange 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.

Ways to Reduce or Reuse
Consider cleaning with a reusable mop or duster instead of single-use pads.
