“Over the holidays, we see about 25% more waste generated. It’s a lot of extra food waste, there’s boxes, there’s all kinds of things that people want to be getting rid of,” Aryeh Alex, sustainability manager for the Columbus Department of Public Service, said. www.nbc4i.com/news/local-n...

Hauling world’s end.

We generate 25% more waste over the holiday season. Help us by sending food scraps to a drop-off site, recycle all of your cardboard boxes in your blue bin, and bring your Christmas tree to one of the Waste and Reuse Convenience Centers or set it out for curbside yard waste collection.
