Proud of our team for helping collect, transport, and distribute food to the city's SNAP response program. Donations of non-perishable food will continue to be accepted at both of the Waste and Reuse Convenience Centers indefinitely through our partnership with Columbus Food Rescue.
Our Department, along with our Keep Columbus Beautiful program, is proud to support the City's response to the SNAP and food emergency by supporting food collections, transporting food, collecting recycling at giveaways, and more. It's just one more way we are serving our community.

A quick look at some of the efforts to manage the trash, recycling, and food at a large-scale event like the Columbus Marathon. Efforts like this take teamwork, partnerships, and volunteers to ensure we have a clean and beautiful city that reduces waste.

Thank you MORPC for inviting me to present a PechaKucha at last week’s Sustainability Summit on the work the City of Columbus is doing to reduce food waste, how our food systems are feeding landfills instead of people, and how food is a human right.

Calling for those who are perpetrating a genocide to be dealt with is not anti-Semitic. Nor is calling out Israel and the Israeli government for their actions. We have to stop conflating Israel and Judaism. They are not the same. www.dispatch.com/story/news/l...
