The Columbia Borough Farm, 254 Blue Lane, Columbia, PA) is open the second and fourth Saturdays of each month, April through October and just the second Saturday November though March, for Columbia residents to drop yard waste. Hours of operation are 8:00 AM to 12:00 PM. Working with DEP, the Public Works Department established the yard waste program in 2003. Several pieces of new equipment have made it possible to start a recycling program that turns unwanted yard debris into a highly valuable product. The Borough collects nearly 200 tons of yard waste annually. The program expanded to receiving yard waste from neighboring municipalities in 2005.
