If they charge us, pick it up. We paid the bill for 10 months with no service.

Max DeYoung

Absolutely. Recycling is good, even if it's being thrown away. Decisions like this, is what has made Columbia what it is today.

Zaos Gonzolez

Recycling shouldn't have to exist. Products should be made to last for entire lifetimes, not single uses.

Joey Martin

Because it’s not my fault y’all aren’t prepared lmao

A local municipality should not hold a monopoly over its citizens. Imagine how many new businesses would start up if trash services were privatized?

Kimberley Brewer

Waste of time & truck fuel to send 2 different trucks every couple weeks when it’s all going to the same place! Just pick up all of it every week with 1 truck. Also, residents want to know exactly which types of our previously recycled materials actually were going into the landfill anyway?

Steve Baumann

Just stick a fork in it and move on.

With his biases, he should not be using his position to meddle in gov on his own behalf. He's looking after no one but himself.

Max DeYoung

Both of Steve's comments are true and accurate.

Steve Baumann

I totally disagree, he needs nothing and was only working to help the majority. The waste uncovered is excessive, no one can argue that.

Fred

He's an absolute nutcase. And an immigrant from South Africa, who grew up under apartheid, with no security clearance, has any business ransacking our government, accessing private data or having any influence of government departments investigating his businesses.

Steve Baumann

He's also brilliant, accomplished and worked for us, the Americans, for free.

Has anyone triedmore MAGA??? We need more MAGA!

Steve Baumann

While I understand he had limited time, I feel more time would have benefited the country. That being said, I am grateful for the time he gave and the job he did. I look forward to seeing the results in the near future.

Max DeYoung

I hope he trained the people he left behind. He did an amazing job in only 130 days.

He has uncovered so much waste and corruption in the US Government. I only wish congress acted on what he found!

Why should people in Central and eastern Missouri be required to finance something for Kansas City. Totally insane.

Bill Douglas

The rest of the state is paying $200M for all the new stuff being built at UM football stadium in Columbia MO. No care about that???

Max DeYoung

I don't even like Taylor Swift.

Eric Smith

Just more political corruption. They know they can do it and get away with it. They did it with Busch stadium and the additional ballpark village.

Zaos Gonzolez

I want the teams to leave.

Bill Douglas

But let’s keep UM football in Columbia and $200 Million for new luxury suites, that’s worth it, right???!!!

Robert

How is this any different then if I ask for public funding to build on to my house?
