Husker Refuse is excited to introduce our new automated split-body collection truck, designed to make recycling easier and more efficient for our customers.
This advanced truck collects trash and recycling in a single visit, using separate compartments to keep materials properly sorted while reducing fuel use and time on the road. By combining two services into one streamlined pickup, we're able to improve efficiency, reduce environmental impact, and provide faster, more reliable service for the communities we serve.
Husker Refuse isn't some out-of-state corporation — we're Lincoln born and bred. When you call us, you're talking to neighbors who live here, work here, and care about keeping our community clean.
Our 20-yard and 30-yard roll-off containers are perfect for home remodels, roof tear-offs, estate cleanouts, and contractor jobs.

We'll drop off your color-coded containers — red for trash, yellow for recycling, black for yard waste.
Place your carts at the curb by 6am on your pickup day, facing outward with at least 3 feet of space between each cart. Our automated trucks need clear access to the lift arm — keep carts away from vehicles, mailboxes, and low-hanging branches.
