COLUMBIA - Full services for residential trash collection and curbside recycling resume Monday, June 8. These services were modified the past two weeks after staff was impacted by COVID-19.
"City officials thank customers and community members for understanding as services were modified during the past two weeks," according to a news release from the city of Columbia. "And for their support and kind wishes expressed for staff impacted by COVID-19."
The week of May 25, the city of Columbia announced it would not be collecting residential recycling curbside after Columbia/Boone County Public Health and Human Services confirmed several employees and temporary staffers had been exposed to COVID-19.
According to a news release from the city, those exposed were placed in isolation. The number of people exposed was "sufficient enough to prevent the utility from collecting both trash and recycling from residential curbside customers," according to the city.
