Ward forums scheduled to discuss future of residential trash and recycling pickup

COLUMBIA, MO (February 2, 2015) - The city wants your ideas and questions about how to make the solid waste service (trash and recycling) work better for the community.

Short presentations by staff and interested community groups will be followed by a community conversation, where all ideas, comments and questions will be collected. Your voices will be part of a report to Council during the first meeting of June that will be used to inform the city on how to proceed with changes to solid waste. Find more information at CoMotrash.com, live online by Friday, Feb. 6.
