This Wednesday is a “Red Wednesday”, which means trash and recycling pickup. Please go over what can be recycled. Ideally, rolling recycling containers are stored and deployed in the back alleys along with trash cans. Please make sure you pick up containers after pickup tomorrow night.

If you have not done so already, don’t forget to sign up for your Recycling Perks.

In recycling news, this past month saw the announcement that a former paint factory situated on 1900 Ellen Road in Richmond’s Scott’s Addition neighborhood will soon be the home of a new manufacturing facility for pipette recycling company Grenova. The $10.6 million investment will bring 250 jobs to the city over the next three years. The company name ‘Grenova’ stands for green innovation. It enables the lab and life science industry to safely wash and reuse plastic consumables.
