Columbus trash schedule changing for half the city. See if you're impacted by the switch.
Public Service Director Kelly Scocco said the changes are an effort to rebalance the city's trash routes and manage the city's growth.
Columbus residents will be able to see if their pickup day or their route color has changed starting on Sept. 1. Beginning that day, residents can use the city's PickUp CBUS smartphone app or the Collection Day Lookup tool on the city's website to see how their trash schedule has changed.
For the first two weeks of the new routes, the city is dedicating extra trucks to pick up trash for residents who missed their new collection day. Residents can call 311 to report a missed pickup, according to the press release.
When will trash be collected for Labor Day?
While half of the city will be getting used to new trash routes, Labor Day will come along and nudge trash collection forward a day.
If you live in one of the city's "Color Collection" areas, your trash day will move by one day the week of Labor Day.
For example, residents in the pink color collection zone have had their trash picked up on Mondays since July 7. Starting with Sept. 2, their trash will be picked up on Tuesdays, at least until Columbus Day, when trash pickup days will move again.
The full-color collection schedule is available here.
Some residents don't live in a color zone and instead have a two-day window when their trash is picked up every week. Typically, trash gets collected on the first day of this two-day window, but during holiday weeks, it is instead picked up on the second day of the window if your regular collection date falls on or after the holiday, according to the city of Columbus' website.
For example, if your window is usually Monday and Tuesday, your trash will be picked up on Tuesday the week of Labor Day.
If you still need help figuring out when your garbage will go away, you can use the city's Collection Day Lookup or call the city's Color Collection Hotline numbers listed below.

America's last living ace pilot from World War II dies at age 103
ADAMS, Nebraska -- A World War II veteran from Nebraska believed to be America's last surviving 'ace' pilot because he shot down five enemy planes has died at age 103. Donald McPherson served as a Navy fighter pilot aboard the aircraft carrier USS Essex in the Pacific theater, where he engaged Japanese forces during the final years of the war. He earned the Congressional Gold Medal and three Distinguished Flying Crosses for his service However, his daughter Beth Delabar said his loved ones always felt McPherson preferred a legacy reflecting his dedication to faith, family and community instead of his wartime feats. 'When it's all done and Dad lists the things he wants to be remembered for … his first first thing would be that he's a man of faith,' she told the Beatrice Daily Sun, a southeast Nebraska newspaper that first reported McPherson died on Aug. 14. 'It hasn't been till these later years in his life that he's had so many honors and medals," she said. McPherson was listed as the conflict's last living U.S. ace by both the American Fighter Aces Association and the Fagen Fighters WWII Museum. He was honored at the museum's Victory at Sea event last weekend in Minnesota. To be considered an ace, a pilot has to shoot down five or more enemy planes. McPherson enlisted in the Navy in 1942 when he was 18. Trainees weren't allowed to marry, so he and his wife Thelma tied the knot right after he completed the 18-month flight program in 1944. He flew F6F Hellcat fighters against the Japanese as part of fighter squadron VF–83. He recounted one mission where he shot down two Japanese planes after he noticed them low near the water on a converging course. In a video the Fagen museum played in his honor, McPherson described how he shoved his plane's nose down and fired on the first aircraft, sending that pilot into the ocean. 'But then I did a wingover to see what happened to the second one. By using full throttle, my Hellcat responded well, and I squeezed the trigger and it exploded," McPherson said. "Then I turned and did a lot of violent maneuvering to try to get out of there without getting shot down.' When he returned to the aircraft carrier, another sailor pointed out a bullet hole in the plane about a foot behind where he was sitting. His daughter, Donna Mulder, said her father told her that experiences like that during the war gave him the sense that 'Maybe God is not done with me.' So after he returned home to the family farm in Adams, Nebraska, he dedicated himself to giving back by helping start baseball and softball leagues for the kids in town and serving as a Scoutmaster and in leadership roles in the Adams United Methodist Church, American Legion and Veterans of Foreign Wars. The community later named the ballfield McPherson Field in honor of Donald and his wife, Thelma, who often kept score and ran the concession stand during games.

Navy pilot rescued after $67M fighter jet crashes during routine training exercise — the sixth pricey military plane lost this year
A Navy pilot was rescued after a $67 million fighter jet plunged into ocean waters off the Virginia coast Wednesday morning — marking the sixth pricey plane the military has lost in less than a year. The pilot, assigned to Strike Fighter Squadron 83 in Virginia Beach, was conducting a routine training flight around 9:53 a.m. when the F/A-18E Super Hornet went down, according to Naval Air Force Atlantic. The aviator ejected from the warplane before it crashed into the water and was recovered alive about 90 minutes later following a search and rescue operation. 3 The pricey fighter jet went down Wednesday morning during a routine training flight in Virginia.

The incident is the latest in a troubling string of mishaps involving F-18s in the past 10 months. In April, a $56 million Super Hornet rolled off the USS Harry S. Truman and sank into the Red Sea as the massive carrier performed an evasive maneuver to avoid incoming fire from Houthi rebels. 3 F-18 Super Hornet landing on aircraft carrier.

A week later, another costly fight jet crashed into the same body of water when it experienced 'arrestment failure' attempting to land on the Truman. The two pilots ejected from the military plane before it crashed and were treated for minor injuries. Another Super Hornet was shot down in a friendly fire incident over the Red Sea in December, with both airman safely ejecting. The mega-million fighter plane costs about $67 million, officials said.
