We only have one planet and our region relies on one landfill- skip throwing out your broken lights and drop them off @columbusdps.bsky.social Waster and Reuse Convenience Centers to be recycled!

As we head into the Holiday Season— so many of our neighbors are need of support. That’s why @cbuscitycouncil.bsky.social and I are supporting the Thankful and Thriving Resource Fair 📅 Saturday, November 15 ⏰ 1:30-3:30pm 📍Hiltop Library, 511 S Hague Ave 🦃Free Turkeys for the first 100 families

In 2008, the State of Ohio set a goal to generate 25% of energy with renewable sources by 2025. Instead, the State has stifled these goals by making it functionally impossible to build wind farms through arbitrary set back requirements.

Landfill space is limited; it’s more important than ever to recycle. Download the PickUp CBUS app to learn what you can recycle. Remember: - Never bag recyclables. - Recycling goes in your BLUE curbside bin. - OR find a free recycling drop-off dumpster at RecycleRight.org
