Columbia residents complain about trash pile up near East Campus
Trash buildup on Ross St, Columbia, MO
COLUMBIA, MO (KMIZ)
Some Columbia residents are facing issues with trash piling up since the new city logo bag ordinance started this month.
A viewer sent in images of trash pile-ups in yards of homes located on Ross Street near East Campus Drive. Bags of trash, some ripped open, have been sitting out for days, due to the city not picking them up.
As of Feb. 1, the City of Columbia requires all residential trash to be in city-issued logo bags in order to be picked up. Columbia s Ward 6 Council Member, Betsy Peter says, the city allowed a grace period over the last few weeks to get citizens adjusted to the new system. Peters says that grace period ended this week and citizens are expected to leave residential trash in city logo bags for curbside pickup.

FRAMINGHAM In her fourth State of the City address, Mayor Yvonne Spicer said Framingham would emerge from the COVID-19 pandemic stronger than ever. We have had a year of uncertainty, but there is a light at the end of the tunnel. I have confidence that we can persevere. We will heal, said Spicer.
On Thursday evening, Spicer delivered the annual speech from an almost-empty conference room in the Memorial Building. It represented a radical departure from last year s venue at Nevins Hall, packed with residents, city employees and elected officials, as well as state leaders and Framingham s legislative delegation.
This year, she was accompanied by only a handful of staffers, as the room accommodates just 10 people when COVID-19 guidelines are observed.
