TARGET 8: Columbia's trash pickup costs slightly more than nearby cities using private companies


COLUMBIA - In February, Columbia changed its trash services to a "Pay as You Throw" program, and now residents are required to use city issued trash bags.
City-issued bags are not new to Columbia. For years, the city issued 50 bags per year, but they were not mandatory to use. Now, they are required.
Each resident is issued 104 33-gallon bags, which averages out to two bags a week for the year.
Some residents are left frustrated. Columbia resident Ednita Brown told KOMU 8 News she wishes the city would listen to her concerns.
“I really feel like it's a pay for our mismanagement program," Brown said.
