The holidays can generate more household trash, and often you aren’t sure how to dispose of it the right way. What can you do with your Christmas tree or the string lights that have finally flickered out? The leftover food you can’t eat anymore? If Santa gave you a new computer or phone, how do you dispose of the old? Is your blue recycling container so full you can’t stuff one more shipping box or ball of crumpled gift wrap in it?

The City of Columbus offers an environmentally-friendly, one-stop solution at no cost to residents: the new Refuse Collection Waste and Reuse Convenience Center at 2100 Alum Creek Dr., Columbus 43207. 

The Convenience Center, open since November, provides Columbus residents with drive-through service to sustainably dispose of, recycle or reuse a variety of items — from food scraps for composting, to furniture and clothing in good condition for reuse, to electronics and many other materials for recycling.

The Indianola Presbyterian Church was built in 1916 in the center of Columbus’ historic, once noted and desirable University District. It was known for its architecture (the architect is not named on its website). Its congregation largely consisted of nearby homeowners, many of whom rented rooms to Ohio State University students at a time that OSU had no dormitories. OSU did not build residences on campus until after World War II with its GI Bill-fueled growth.

Contrary to local dangerously misleading mythologies, the area was long shared by homeowners and student tenants. There was no “golden age” of a middle-class mecca of homeowners. There were many students. But there were no large absentee landlords, and the city’s zoning codes regulating the number of properties an individual could own and the number of unrelated individuals living under one roof were actually enforced.
