New Trash Pickup Date? 

Are you aware of the new trash pickup date?  A recent news release from the city published August 20, 2025, reported that approximately one-half of Columbus households that get weekly city trash pickup will be assigned a new collection day and associated route color starting Tuesday, September 2, including those living in Harrison West.  Learn if your household collection day and color will change effective the first week of September by using one of these options:

–   Download the free PickUp CBUS smartphone app on the App Store or Google Play now to get your trash collection day and color, recycling and yard waste collection schedules and convenient reminder notifications.

–   Visit the Refuse Collection website at https://www.columbus.gov/trash to enter your address. Starting Sept. 1, you will be able to check this website tool to see if you have a new collection day and color.

–   Use the website’s Rotating Color Calendar tool to download and print the annual trash collection schedule for your address’s color. Nearly all households have a color designated with your collection day—Gold, Gray, Navy, Pink or Ruby. To find your color, enter your address using the PickUp CBUS app or the Collection Day Lookup tools.

–   Residents may also call their color to get automated information about your pickup day. For example, if your collection day color is Gold, call 614-645-GOLD (4653).

The city’s residential recycling and yard waste collection service is not affected by the rebalancing.
