Health Department Celebrates GoodToGo Reuse Store First Anniversary

The Lincoln-Lancaster County Health Department today announced that November marks the first anniversary of GoodToGo, Lincoln's Reuse Store, 5101 N. 48th St. GoodToGo offers Lincoln and Lancaster County residents quality products for their homes, gardens and hobbies at no cost. The products are all gently used or unopened that have been brought to HazToGo - Lincoln's Hazardous Waste Center.

GoodToGo inaugural year highlights include:

• More than 3,700 customer visits
• 67,662 lbs. of products distributed through the reuse store
• 237,765 lbs. diverted from the landfill by GoodToGo and HazToGo

"GoodToGo has been a popular destination and we're hearing positive feedback from our customers," said Kerry Kernen, Health Director. "GoodToGo gives usable products collected by HazToGo a second life. Residents can shop at the store and pick up those products free of charge. Both facilities are working together to further reduce waste and help promote a more sustainable community."

Items stocked GoodToGo include:

• Automotive products like motor oil or antifreeze
• Home and Garden products like cleaners, ice melt, and fertilizers
• Other items like spray paint, stains or varnish

GoodToGo is conveniently located beside HazToGo. Both GoodToGo and HazToGo are open Wednesdays and Fridays and the third Saturday of the month from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m.

GoodToGo and HazToGo are partially funded by the Nebraska Environmental Trust and the Nebraska Department of Water, Energy and Environment. The Health Department has operated a household hazardous waste program for more than 30 years, with the HazToGo facility opening in 2017 and the GoodToGo store opening in 2025.
