Proper Fireworks Disposal from Keep Omaha Beautiful
Keep Omaha Beautiful encourages Omaha residents to safely and properly dispose of firework waste over the 4th of July holiday. Fireworks contain a variety of toxic pollutants, including heavy metals, sulfur-coal compounds, and other poisonous materials. To ensure these pollutants do not end up in our local waterways and negatively impact living organisms/aquatic ecosystems, it is important to properly dispose of firework waste and prevent it from entering storm drains on the street. Stormwater and/or urban runoff carrying these firework pollutants will not be treated before it is routed into local streams and rivers.
To learn how you can safely dispose of fireworks in order to prevent litter and water pollution visit the Keep Omaha Beautiful website:

Have a wonderful Fourth of July Holiday!
We Hope to Update These Events Soon:
Champions Run Celebration & Fireworks – TBA
