QUESTION OF THE DAY: Should Columbia continue to pick up curbside recycling without recycling it?
The recycling plant at the Columbia landfill remains offline after a tornado hit it on Easter Sunday, and it's unclear when the facility will operate again.
Meanwhile, the city government is searching for solutions to meet the demand for the service. Last week, the City of Columbia said it would resume picking up curbside recycling. However, the material isn't going to be recycled.
Instead, it will go into the landfill.
City leaders say they want to keep residents in the rhythm of putting out recycling and that they don't want to make households' trash burden too great.
Should the city continue picking up recyclables separately? Let us know by voting in the poll.
