COLUMBUS, Ohio – As of this morning, the free curbside recycling program in Columbus is citywide.

Residents in North and Northeast Columbus had their recyclables hauled away, completing the five-part phase-in of RecyColumbus to approximately 191,000 households.

Near East side north of East Broad Street between I-71 and the Columbus-Bexley border
