Vouchers for trash and recycling bags to be mailed week of Aug. 3
								
	(COLUMBIA, MO) - The city of Columbia Solid Waste Division would
like to remind residents they will be receiving new vouchers in the mail
for black trash bags and blue recycling bags the week of Aug. 3. These
vouchers are redeemable at local retail businesses for bags at no
charge. Each store has different procedures for redeeming the voucher.
Please check with the cashier or service desk for details. Businesses
that accept the vouchers include:

	● Gerbes Supermarket: 1729 W. Broadway; 205 E. Nifong; and
2900 Paris Road
	● Hy-Vee: 3100 W. Broadway
	● Moser’s Discount Foods: 705 Business Loop 70
	● Patricia’s Foods: 900 N. Keene
	● Schnuck’s Supermarket: 1400 Forum Blvd.
	● Westlake Ace Hardware: 1910 W. Worley and 1900 Business Loop
70 E
	● Menards: 3340 Vandiver Drive

	Additional information about the new voucher program can be
found on the city’s Web site at www.GoColumbiaMo.com (search:
GoBagVoucher). Residents will receive new vouchers each April, August
and December. Vouchers are redeemable one time only, as they are tracked
by barcode and therefore can not be duplicated. New residents moving to
Columbia will be sent a voucher within three weeks of signing up for
city utilities. 
	In an effort to reduce waste, the city is asking residents who
do not need bags to not redeem the voucher. For questions about the
vouchers, or if you expected to receive a voucher and did not, contact
WasteZero Inc. at 1-800-866-3954.
