Two recycling drop-off centers to close

(COLUMBIA, MO) -

The recycling drop-off centers on the Moser's Foods properties at 900 North Keene Street and 705 Business Loop 70 West will be closed beginning Wednesday, July 7, 2021.

Moser's has long been a respected partner with the City of Columbia's Solid Waste Division by providing areas on their property for recycling drop-off facilities. Their partnership has been greatly appreciated.

The increased use of the facilities and the improper disposal of material at the drop-off centers have resulted in the site being harmful to Moser's primary business.

The City of Columbia would like to remind residents that improper use of the recycling drop-off sites is damaging to the City's relationship with its community partners. Should more of the City's partners withdraw their commitment to providing space for recycling centers, it will reduce the availability of those resources and services for all of our citizens.
