Our team, along with Ohio EPA and Columbus Public Utilities, joined forces for a Scioto River cleanup! With canoes and supplies provided by a Recycle Ohio grant from the EPA, we had the support of the directors from all three departments onsite. Together, we’re working to keep our waterways clean!

#TrashTalkin on the #Scioto! Director Vogel teamed up with Columbus Department of Public Service and Columbus Public Utilities - taking to the waters of the #SciotoRiver. In 2022, the City of Columbus used an #OhioEPA grant to buy canoes and gear needed for river #cleanups all across #Columbus. #OhioTheHeartOfItAll

The new Waste and Reuse Convenience Center at 1550 Georgesville Road is NOW OPEN! Open Tuesday-Saturday from 10am-6pm, this is your go-to spot for all recycling and waste needs. It joins the Alum Creek Center, giving residents two options to help divert waste from the landfill.

Columbus Department of Public Service staff were on site with Councilmember Lourdes Barroso de Padilla, who had the opportunity to present the Vision Zero Columbus initiative at the Safe Streets Central Ohio conference hosted by MORPC. This important gathering connected municipalities and transportation leaders from across Central Ohio to collaborate on ensuring the best resources and strategies are in place to protect pedestrians. The goal remains the same: Zero fatalities and serious crashes. Through collaboration, we can make our streets safer for everyone.

This week, during the American Public Works Association-PWX Conference, members of our DPS leadership team spotlighted our partnership with the Marysville Women's Reformatory, which provides second-chance employment opportunities, making a lasting impact on lives and our community. https://lnkd.in/gWm2UwhE
