Recycle/Waste

Columbus has REGULAR PICK-UP days

Our area’s recycling is picked up on every other Thursday. Be sure you ONLY include items that can be recycled; contaminants mean that the load may be diverted to the landfill instead of recycled. See RECYColumbus for more information

BULK-WASTE includes furniture, appliances/ electronics, yard waste, construction debris, clothing, etc.
Before calling 311 to have bulk waste picked up, try to dispose of it in a more sustainable way
