COLUMBIA, MO (July 27, 2012) - The City ofColumbia Solid Waste Divisionreminds residents they will be receiving new vouchers in the mail for black trash bags and blue recycling bags during the first or second week of August. These vouchers are redeemable at local retail businesses for bags at no charge.  Each store has different procedures for redeeming the voucher, please check at cashier or service desk for details. 

Businesses that accept the vouchers include: 

* Gerbes Supermarket, 1729 W. Broadway, 205 E. Nifong and2900 Paris Road

Additional information about the voucher program can be found on the city's website at www.GoColumbiaMo.com (search: GoBagVoucher). 

Vouchers are redeemable one time only, as they are tracked by barcode and therefore can not be duplicated.  New residents moving toColumbiawill be sent a voucher within three weeks of signing up for city utilities. In an effort to reduce waste we are asking residents who do not need bags to not redeem the voucher.
