Boone County Government has traditionally provided recycling drop-off opportunities at municipalities across the County, including locations in Ashland, Hallsville, Sturgeon, Hartsburg, Rocheport, and Harrisburg. Recyclables collected at these sites were then transported to the City of Columbia Material Recovery Facility for processing. Due to Sunday's EF-1 tornado that destroyed the City of Columbia Material Recovery Facility, the Boone County recycling program consisting of drop-off sites is suspended indefinitely. The collection of County recycling containers from these communities is currently underway.
