With the roll cart roll-out, they were also able to increase the number and types of recyclables collected. They also pick up yard waste separately and compost it at a City facility.

50254100City of Columbia, MOColumbia, MOUSANorth America2017PublicCommunity-Scale DevelopmentCompact cities15422.14In 2001, the Planning Department (now Community Development) developed a planning guide for the City’s future, titled “Columbia 2020 Metro.” This guide was designed to promote the “master planned” development idea by planning and providing amenities for neighborhoods and the community. The plan encourages the creation of neighborhood centers to provide a focal point for residents and to foster a sense of neighborhood identity. The systematic planning and provision of public amenities such as trail facilities, recreation equipment, play fields for organized sports, swimming facilities, parkways, schools, churches, day care facilities, parks and shopping opportunities at the neighborhood or community-scale is its central theme.In summer 2006, the City of Columbia initiated a visioning process known as “Imagine Columbia’s Future.” The Final Vision and Action Plan (Vision Report) was issued in 2007 and accepted by the City Council in February 2008. One of the action items in the Vision Report suggested revising planning and zoning ordinances to align with the goals and issues identified during the visioning process. City Council approved a Vision Implementation Report committing city staff and the Planning and Zoning Commission to issue a set of recommendations for a new comprehensive plan and modernization of the City development codes by the end of fiscal year 2011.(38.951705°, -92.334072°)(37.09024°, -95.712891°)
