Columbia Solid Waste to host second customer input meeting on bag ordinance

COLUMBIA, Mo. (KMIZ)

The City of Columbia Solid Waste Utility will be hosting its second customer input meeting to discuss proposed ordinance changes around the use of City logo refuse bags.

The meeting is scheduled for 6 p.m. Wednesday at the City Council Chambers at City Hall, 701 E. Broadway. This meeting will also be live-streamed.

The public will have the opportunity to ask questions or provide comments on the proposed changes to the City Code.

The Solid Waste Utility has recommended that the City Council amend the City Code to no longer require the use of City logo bags as well as the provision that requires the City supply refuse bags to customers.

If the ordinance is repealed, City-logoed bags would no longer be required beginning Jan. 2.

The Utility estimates an annual savings of more than $1.15 million. For more information or to leave questions or comments, please visit the project page at BeHeardCoMo.com.
