D&D Refuse Inc is a three generation family owned and operated company. Having been in business for over 66 years, it is one of oldest and most respected garbage companies in Lincoln.We have always built our business around the core principle of offering the highest quality service possible. By doing so, we have earned a reputation of not only being courteous and dependable but also economic and safe.

History

Formed in 1950 by Donald C. Kurtzer, D&D Refuse Inc operated under the name Don Kurtzer Refuse until 1973 when a partnership was formed with two of his sons, Don Jr and Dan. It used the name Don Kurtzer & Sons until 1979 when it officially incorporated as D&D Refuse Inc.
 In 1985 Don Kurtzer Sr retired from daily operations. At the same time, his third son Dale became active in ownership while Don Jr left the company. Through the years following, the small family operated company  continued to grow and establish itself as one of Lincoln's solid waste industry leaders. 
 Recently, Dan's three sons have become involved in daily operations. Their involment has allowed the company to combine fresh ideas with sustainable innovations that help keep the business competitive and successful in an ever changing industry.

Why Choose Local?

Using a locally owned refuse and recycling company is an easy way to shop local. Studies have shown that when you use an independent, locally owned business, rather than a national business, significantly more of your money stays within the local economy.
 Furthermore, local businesses are owned by people who live within our community.Local business owners tend to be more invested in Lincoln's growth and future since this is where they choose to call home.
 Once-a-week & twice-a-week service available. Two wheeled toter included with service. We offer rear load containers in several sizes.  Our commerical rates are based on serveral factors such as type of waste & number of pick ups required. 

Recycling

No sorting required.  Simply place all of your recyclable materials into one container. A separate truck will pick up all your recyclables. It's that Easy & Convenient!Same ease & convenience as our residential single stream recycling. Wheeled totes & dumpsters available.volumes of cardboard are eligible for Cardboard Only recycling service.

Why We Don't Take Glass

Currently our recycling processor does not accept glass. With record setting lows across commodity markets, every effort needs to be taken to maintain the highest value for commodities and keep recycling costs to a minimum.
Glass has never been a high value commodity and is often sorted out of recycled material and sent to landfills. Broken glass contaminates other recyclable material and decreases the value of all the materials collected. Contamination in single stream recycling can also cause other items that would otherwise be recyclable to also be disposed of in a landfill.
A national study of recycling sorting centers concluded that 40 percent of glass brought in ends up leaving as garbage and most of the rest goes to the landfill to be used as daily cover. This causes a drain on other valuable resources and in turn can be seen as less beneficial to the environement.
