Roll carts come in various sizes for small families and/or handicapped. Carts are cheaper to use and are not bothered by cats, dogs, possums, skunks, raccoons. Carts contain waste in a more eye appealing and sanitary way. Carts don't allow waste to be scattered on the ground like bags.

This is the only place I've lived that doesn't use bins. The animals get into it half the time and where are you supposed to store it while waiting for trash day? After the initial expense of new trucks, labor costs will be greatly reduced due to 1 driver. Let's get out of the stone age Columbia!

On trash day, the streets in otherwise pretty neighborhoods are strewn with garbage, which is a serious hygiene issue. It's hard to believe someone thought not having roll carts was reasonable.

The current system is the most ridiculous thing I've encountered in any place we have lived. Please, for the love of God, change to the bins like the rest of the country.

I enjoy putting my trash bags in other bags and then again in another bag (assuming I can find a place that has them) after animals tear through the bags that I put out the night before but I can't help but think there has to be a better way.

No need for people to pick up bags. Just one person per route, the driver. Check out Moberly. Even if the city of Columbia does not run it, it will be better for the citizens.
