Single Stream Recycling
Beginning on January 1, 2010, The City of Columbus switched to a single stream recycling program.
This means all recyclables should be co-mingled into one container. City of Columbus residents will no
longer need to separate plastic, aluminum, glass, cardboard, or paper. The container should be either a
recyclable clear bag or a container of 35 gallons or less. Badger Disposal will be picking up the
co-mingled recyclables on the same day as garbage is picked up. Please remember that recyclable waste
cannot be mixed with regular garbage.
If you have any questions, please call Badger Disposal at (920)623-4766 or the Department of Public Works at (920)623-5908.
