A City of Columbus community improvement and sustainability program working to Keep Columbus Beautiful.
We know you're going to be recycling a lot of non-foil wrapping paper and cardboard this week, so remember to break down those boxes and never put recyclables in a bag—keep them loose to recycle right!

Updates to our Refuse Collection notification systems unintentionally removed collection day alerts for some residents. If your reminders set up in the PickUp CBUS app or the Refuse Collection website stopped working, please set them up again. We apologize for the inconvenience.

Food for Thought: Did you know households waste more than $2,000 each year? 💸 Recycling food scraps saves money, enriches our soil, and reduces waste. Let’s turn waste into wealth—better for your wallet and our planet. Fina a food scrap drop-off site at columbus.gov/foodwaste

"I think circularity is one of the most powerful tools in our climate toolkit and one of the most underutilized. Circularity encompasses food, production and waste."

It can be hard to eat, drink and be merry when the food waste epidemic is on the table.
