recycling

The city of Columbia’s recycling facility was destroyed by a tornado. This presents a unique opportunity for the city to reinvent its recycling program.

Currently, the only things being recycled are blue bags containing aluminum and metal cans and some plastics. Cardboard and fiber materials are being sent to the landfill.

The city of Columbia opened a website with a survey for residents to give feedback on proposed rebuilding plans.

The new Utilities director is assessing short-term waste solutions while the council mulls a new facility.

The recycling facility already needed to be replaced before it was destroyed.

A new recycling facility, a new subdivision and shuttle services for Mizzou's campus will be discussed Monday evening.

Ashland's recycling lot is now open again after closing down for a week due to excess materials.

The city of Columbia said it could take two to three years to build a new facility.

Residents who want to make the drive could drop their recycling items off at a Jefferson City private recycling service.

The declaration allowed the city to shut down recycling services indefinitely.
