The City of Columbia urges residents to remove trash away from roadways

The City of Columbia is urging residents to cease putting yard trash and bulk items at the curb. This will help keep storm drains and roads clear of debris to reduce potential flooding. Bagging yard trash is not required, but recommended during potential high winds and storms. The Solid Waste Division will continue to collect yard trash on regular schedule.

Residents are encouraged to sign up for the “Columbia, SC Solid Waste” app to find their schedule and receive service alerts. There is also an online calendar and alert system for those without smartphones. Service alerts will be posted as needed.
