Columbia Waste Management Rolls Out Roll Carts
February 18th, 2024
Shot, edited, and wrote video package about the City of Columbia’s addition of roll carts to weekly trash pick up in early 2024. Interviewed local residents, frequent recycling bin users, and Columbia Waste Management community relations specialist.
The City of Columbia will begin solid waste collection via roll carts starting March 5. However, the city still won’t pick up residential recycling. Since May 17th, 2023, the City of Columbia indefinitely suspended curbside recycling pick-up. Instead, citizens must use one of the eight designated recycling drop-off centers in Columbia to dispose of their recycling. Resident since 2008, Tina Balser comes every week to drop off her recycling.
