The Nebraska Organic Waste Resources Project (NOW Resources Project) is Lincoln’s first, and Nebraska’s only single-stream organic waste recycling program. Designed to maximize recovery of the available energy, nutrients and recyclable materials from about 1,400 tons per year of food scraps, grass clippings, packaging and post-consumer waste, the NOW Resources Project will convert organic waste into renewable electricity, liquid fertilizer, recyclables and other value-added products while also reducing Uribe’s operating costs and emissions.
One of Lincoln’s premiere waste haulers, Uribe Refuse Services is a 3rd generation family-owned and operated company providing quality solid management to commercial and residential customers in Lincoln and surrounding areas since 1976.
WasteCap Nebraska works with Nebraska businesses and communities to eliminate waste, conserve resources, educate people and increase prosperity. For more information about WasteCap Nebraska visit www.wastecapne.org.
