The second week of the City of Columbia’s month long clean-up initiative, “Columbia Clean-Up,” focuses on District II until Thursday evening, April 13, 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 second week of collections started on Friday, April 7th and lasts until Thursday, April 13th. Below are the approved locations of dumpsters for the following week:
– TS Martin Park | 2700 Edison St.
– Pinehurst Park | 2300 Pinehurst Rd.
– Busby St. | 1737 Busby St.
– Lorick Park | 1600 Lorick Ave.
– St. Anna’s Park | 1316 Liberty Hill Ave.
– Page Ellington Park | 2220 Gregg St.
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].
