For Second Week, Columbia Won't Collect Recycling

Today’s announcement comes after many customer’s recycling was due to be collected; for the second week in a row, the City of Columbia will not be collecting recycling from residential customers.

The city announced last week that it would not collect recycling due to staffing shortages as a result of the coronavirus pandemic. Several solid waste employees in Columbia were placed into isolation due to exposure to the coronavirus, as well as several employees of the temporary staffing agency used to collect recycling and trash. 

The city says customers may drop off recycling at one of these 11 designated sites:

  • Columbia College Dulany Hall (near 8th Street and Hickman Avenue)
  • Columbia College Wrightman Building (south end of Pannell Street)
  • The Armory (north parking lot at 7th Street and Park Avenue)
  • 10th Street and Cherry Street (south side of the Cherry Street Parking Structure)
  • Home Depot (3215 Clark Lane)
  • Moser’s on Keene (900 North Keene Street)
  • Moser’s Supermarket (705 West Business Loop 70)
  • 3601 South Providence Road (outer road north of Nifong)
  • State Farm Parkway (on Nifong just east of Grindstone)
  • University of Missouri (Bluford Hall on Kentucky Avenue)
  • University of Missouri (Shurz Hall on Ashland Road east of College Avenue)
