Weekly recycling collection resumes June 15

The City of Columbia Solid Waste Utility resumes weekly recycling collections as of Monday, June 15.

Residential customers with curbside collection services will have the opportunity to place their recycling out on their appointed trash collection day each week.

Previously, residential curbside collection occurred every other week. However, staffing in the Solid Waste Utility increased to the level that allowed the City to resume weekly service for residential curbside customers.

• The City reminds customers they should continue using the blue recycling bags for plastic bottles (such as soft drink, water or soda bottles), plastic containers (such as detergent, milk or shampoo bottles), aluminum beverage cans and metal food cans.
• Residents should bundle mixed fibers, including cardboard, newspaper and office paper, in a box or paper bag for collection.
• Glass is a contaminant that negatively impacts the quality of the recyclable material. It is not accepted in blue bags. Residents should throw glass in the trash.

View your trash schedule and receive collection notifications all from within the CoMo Recycle and Trash app. The app is available for both Android and Apple phones.
