In partnership with Waste to Energy Lincoln (WTEL), a division of Uribe Refuse Services, Inc., Nebraska Innovation Campus is now a community collection site for food waste and other compostable items.

Call (402) 467-1239 to learn more and sign up today!

NIC’s green community collection tote is located at the west end of the paved parking lot located north of Transformation Drive (the end of the lot near the Ice Box).
