Bellevue Trash Pickup Schedule

The Bellevue trash pickup schedule runs on a single city contract rather than an open market, which makes it one of the simpler arrangements in Nebraska.

The holiday rule here is worded unusually precisely, and that precision is the part worth reading twice.

Which Bellevue this is

This guide covers Bellevue, Nebraska, in Sarpy County just south of Omaha. There are well-known Bellevues in Washington, Wisconsin and Iowa, and all of them run different services with different contractors.

If a schedule you found online mentions a village board or a Puget Sound address, it is not this city.

How often collection runs

The city contract is currently held by Papillion Sanitation and Recycling Services, covering all single-family and duplex-family residents within the city limits.

Because one contractor handles all three streams, a holiday shift moves trash, recycling and yard waste together rather than affecting just one.

Find your exact pickup day

Your day is assigned by address under the contract. Papillion Sanitation is the first call for day confirmation, missed pickups and container questions.

The city also publishes a trash and recycling welcome packet, which is the document worth reading once when you move in.

Bellevue Trash Holiday Schedule

Bellevue names six holidays that move the schedule, and applies a one-day delay rather than skipping a week.

The six named holidays are Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year's Day. Independence Day falls on a Saturday in 2026, so under the city's own rule it changes nothing.

The "on or before" rule

Most cities say a holiday delays the rest of the week. Bellevue words it more carefully: pickups are pushed back one day when the holiday falls on or before your pickup day, Monday through Friday.

That phrasing settles the question people actually have. If the holiday is Monday and your day is Thursday, the holiday fell before your day, so you are delayed to Friday. If the holiday is Thursday and your day is Tuesday, you are unaffected.

The second half of the rule is just as useful: a holiday falling at the weekend causes no disruption, so a Saturday Independence Day leaves the following week untouched.

What goes in each cart

Apartments & multifamily buildings

The contract is written around single-family and duplex-family residents. A larger apartment building sits outside that definition and arranges collection through the property.

If you rent in a building of three units or more, ask the property who services its containers, because the city contract and its holiday rule may not apply.
