Planned temporary closures announced for yard waste drop-off sites

(COLUMBIA, MO) - The Solid Waste Utility has scheduled to have the yard waste material at the two drop-off centers ground into mulch beginning Monday, March 29. The drop-off sites will be closed to the public while grinding is performed to ensure efficient operations by the contractor and to ensure the safety of the users of the facility.

The Capen Park yard waste drop-off site, off Rock Quarry Road, will be closed Monday, March 29. The Parkside yard waste drop-off site, near Cosmo Park, will be closed Tuesday, March 30.

While each drop-off center is closed, customers will still have access to the other location and the landfill compost facility to dispose of their yard waste.
