Richland County Rolls out 48,000 New Roll Carts

Another huge step in Richland County’s dedication to a sustainable future, the county is ramping up its recycling efforts by delivering new roll carts to more than 48,000 residents. The newly delivered roll carts represent the third and final phase of a plan to increase recycling availability to every resident serviced by Richland County Solid Waste and Recycling. Last January, 16,000 households received new roll carts, which replaced the red recycling bins residents previously used. The new, green 95-gallon roll carts will give residents a larger container for holding their recyclables, which is intended to encourage more residents to recycle and increase the amount of recyclable materials collected. As a note and reminder, the recycling carts will be collected every other week and should be placed curbside by 7 a.m. Pickup dates and times vary, so please contact the offices of Richland County to request a copy of the residential collection schedule, if necessary.
