What is Cleanup Columbia? Cleanup Columbia is a city-wide trash pick up event where hundreds of local residents work together to make our city a more beautiful place. The city will provide volunteers with trash bags, gloves, safety vests (where needed) and help you find a trash pick up location. Volunteers pick up trash in the morning and are asked to start no later than 10 a.m. Columbia Public Works will pick up your filled bags. This is a wonderful event for individuals and groups of all sizes and people of all ages and abilities. There will be a thank-you picnic to celebrate your efforts afterwards, sponsored by APAC-Missouri!

• If cleaning STREAMS, leave bags along nearest roadway, close to the curb but not so close that the bags will fall into the street.
• If cleaning TRAILS, leave bags near trash can at trailhead.
• Recyclable materials may be brought to the picnic (recycling truck will be there), dropped at one of the dropoff locations around town, or put out with your household recycling.

What to do with supplies after the cleanup: Please drop off at City Hall, 701 E. Broadway along with your response card. You may leave supplies at the reception desk.
