Coming later this year: a new @cbusmetroparks.bsky.social on the South Side of Columbus! columbusunderground.com/photos-work-...

there's another one happening this Friday.

Film photos from a recent anti-ICE protest here in Columbus.

The @dispatch.com photographer @adamcairns.bsky.social captured me plowing in the Short North on Sunday. Thank you for the great shot and braving the snow to document the @columbusdps.bsky.social efforts to clear our streets.

With Snow Storm Fern pommeling Columbus, I answered the call to plow during this Level 3 Snow Emergency. The @columbusdps.bsky.social Snow Warriors are heroes who are working tirelessly to clean our streets and make our critical infrastructure safe and it’s an honor to support them.

Sunny and cold.

The City of Columbus has free food scraps drop-off locations across our communities. Find your closest one and start diverting wasted food from the landfill today! Learn more at columbus.gov/foodwaste

SNAP funding maybe back but many in our communities still face hunger. Your food items and toiletry donations can make a difference—especially to those who may not have access to the institutional systems that restrict food to certain people.

Road cheese.

“We’re actually trying to bring awareness to something we all care about, and something we feel is unjust,” Amory said. “It does make me feel like we at least have some power in this situation, and that we do have a voice and people will listen to it.” matternews.org/community/du...

To the thousands of individuals who step up to Keep Columbus Beautiful, THANK YOU! Nearly half a million pounds of litter off of our streets and waterways is absolutely incredible work!

Our @cbusmetroparks.bsky.social are always memorable. www.dispatch.com/story/lifest...

How the fuck can Trump lead a coup and then run another country without consequences?! It’s a total violation of U.S. and International law! Will no one with power standup and stop this madman?

“Over the holidays, we see about 25% more waste generated. It’s a lot of extra food waste, there’s boxes, there’s all kinds of things that people want to be getting rid of,” Aryeh Alex, sustainability manager for the Columbus Department of Public Service, said. www.nbc4i.com/news/local-n...

DDD - Columbus, Ohio.

Hauling world’s end.

We generate 25% more waste over the holiday season. Help us by sending food scraps to a drop-off site, recycle all of your cardboard boxes in your blue bin, and bring your Christmas tree to one of the Waste and Reuse Convenience Centers or set it out for curbside yard waste collection.

Not having a @cbusmetroparks.bsky.social in the top three is blasphemy! columbusunderground.com/the-top-10-c...

Columbus.

Destroying our environment is not enough for these data centers—they are also dead set on breaking working families across our communities. www.wosu.org/politics-gov...

Food for Thought: Did you know households waste more than $2,000 each year? 💸 Recycling food scraps saves money, enriches our soil, and reduces waste. Let’s turn waste into wealth—better for your wallet and our planet. Fina a food scrap drop-off site at columbus.gov/foodwaste

Happy Hanukkah!

Remember: always enjoy wildlife from a distance so not to endanger animals or yourself. www.dispatch.com/story/news/l...

Food for Thought: Did you know that 76% of our landfill waste could be reused? 🌱 Recycling food scraps helps keep waste out of the ground and puts valuable resources back to work. Small actions can create big changes. Find a food scrap drop-off site at columbus.gov/foodwaste

This morning, we adopted the @cbusmetroparks.bsky.social 2026 budget. This plan continues to invest in staff, operations, park maintenance, inclusive programs, upgrades to facilities, and land acquisition so that our exceptional park district is able to serve the people of Franklin County.

Opting for a litter cleanup with FLOW (Friends of the Lower Olentangy Watershed) instead of partaking in the insanity that is Black Friday. #optoutside

While it’s wonderful to spend the day being thankful for all the good in our lives, remember that this holiday represents the colonization and genocide of the Indigenous peoples whose land was taken from them as they were forcibly removed and killed.

Holidays lead to a significant amount of wasted food that ends up in landfills. To minimize this, create a plan to eat leftovers, donate them, & get creative in the kitchen. Bring the remaining food to one of the City's food scraps drop-off sites, where it will be composted. columbus.gov/foodwaste

Looking forward to this new connector trail from the Franklin Co Engineer to one of our Columbus and Franklin County Metro Parks! abc6onyourside.com/news/local/p...

Congratulations to Emily Rials and Susan Swinford on being nominated as Everyday Kindness Heroes! Your work not only reduces wasted food here in Columbus but helps feed our community. www.columbusmonthly.com/story/lifest...

The City of Columbus is taking wasted food seriously with a new campaign to help educate residents about the cost, environmental challenge, and human impact. Check out our first video below!

CRUSH THEM!!! www.dispatch.com/story/news/l...

Working with my colleagues to collect and distribute over 6 tons of non-perishable food last week in response to the food emergency was both rewarding and eye-opening. It underscored the urgency of the situation and the need to prevent food from being used as a weapon against people.

Interested in why some of our food waste work is so important here at the City of Columbus? Check out my short Pecha Kucha presentation from the MORPC Summit on Sustainability last month. youtu.be/2QctkI2vY_0?...

Fighting food waste one rescue at a time.

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.

We throw away over a million pounds of food a day while some of our neighbors are hungry. Help us ensure non-perishable food doesn’t go to the landfill by donating to help those in need at one of the city’s Waste and Reuse Convenience Centers. #food #donate #columbus

Politicos and campaign staff: please help us reduce the waste generated from campaigns by bringing yard signs to one of the two Convenience Centers so they can be recycled.

Starting today, both of our Waste and Reuse Convenience Centers will be accepting non-perishable food items and toiletries through a partnership with Columbus Food Rescue and Local Matters. Bring your items in Tuesday—Saturday between 10 a.m. and 6 p.m.

Fall frog.

Food is a human right. www.dispatch.com/story/news/p...

As resources get more scare, donating items is one way to ensure we send less to the landfill and repurpose and reuse items that still have value. Find a list of places to donate items compiled by Columbus Food Rescue here: docs.google.com/document/d/1...
