The third week of the City of Columbia’s month long clean-up initiative, “Columbia Clean-Up,” begins in Districts 3 and 4 today, April 14, 2023. The City of Columbia’s Solid Waste division has placed dumpsters throughout the district, so citizens across the district have access to a dumpster near their community.
The City of Columbia encourages neighborhoods and districts to help beautify their communities and protect our environment by disposing yard debris, bulky items and unwanted materials from the streets and lots throughout the area.
“Cleaning up Columbia one neighborhood at a time, one street at a time, puts pride back in our neighborhoods,” Mayor Daniel J. Rickenmann said. “We get 15 million visitors in Columbia and they ride throughout all our communities and every gateway. We want them to see who we truly are, the shining star in the middle of the state that is our capital city.”
The third week of collections will be from Friday, April 14th – Thursday, April 20th. Below are the approved locations of dumpsters for the following week:
– Mays Park | 1521 Deans Ln.
– Woodland Park | 6500 Olde Knight Pkwy.
– Southeast Park | 951 Hazelwood Rd.
– Melrose Park | 1500 Fairview Dr. (Along Senate St.)
– Hampton Park | 1117 Brandon Ave.
– Heathwood Park | 800 Abeilia Rd.
Items that belong in the dumpsters include yard waste (grass trimmings, limbs, shrubbery, leaves, etc.), furniture, clothes that can’t be donated, children’s toy (plastic bikes, slides, etc.), Styrofoam and litter pick-up bags. Please refrain from putting trash, electronic or hazardous materials into the dumpsters. If you have any questions on what materials are accepted in the dumpsters or other general information about Columbia Clean-Up, please contact Solid Waste at (803) 545-3800 or e-mail [email protected].
