• 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:
