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.

Trump has destroyed every thing. Living in a median begging for money for my booze...but still have my phone and EBT card.

Max

Amen, to that Eric. I know exactly how you feel, and what you are saying. A liberal's interpretation of Proverbs 22:9. Your satire is exquisite.

We're headed for a DEEP recession ... be smart and tighten your belts!

Why would it change? I have more money now.

Never had a big budget for holidays or birthdays. We have too much stuff already so we concentrate on time together and a few useful thoughtful gifts, often hand-made.

Max

Obviously, an article regarding Christmas, will not get many views in a blue city like Columbia.

Steve Baumann

It is what it is

Max

On Christmas, my kids often just ask me for meaningful advice. They are in their fifties, and they have learned enough to know, that they can always learn more. We still give each other the benefits of our skills that we have acquired over the years. These gifts are priceless, and they last forever.

Max

Christmas commemorates the birth of Jesus Christ, believed to be the Son of God. The celebration focuses on the Incarnation, or God becoming human. You don't need money to celebrate that.
