Residential Recycling in Columbus

Residents of Columbus have probably noticed big, blue carts being delivered to their homes. Mayor Coleman is asking residents to use these carts to help Columbus recycle! Residential recycling is free and is expected to save the city millions of dollars a year. The first phase began April 16 with delivery of the blue carts to west Columbus residents. Delivery to these neighborhoods continues until May 19. Recycling pickup will begin June 4 on a biweekly schedule. The program is expected to be fully implemented in February 2013, serving over 227,000 households.

An Arizona company called Closed Loop plans to locate its recycling facility on the south side of Columbus, creating 55 new full-time jobs. These efforts will create an annual payroll of $1.47 million. Mayor Coleman is very excited about the new addition to Columbus, saying, “Closed Loop is exactly the kind of innovative business that we want to attract in order to strengthen our economy and provide opportunity for our residents.”
