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 it seems like pickup did not happen, use this online form:

In recycling news (from WasteDive.com), “a final report from Virginia’s Waste Diversion & Recycling Task Force recommends the Commonwealth invest more time and resources into collecting accurate waste and recycling data while also pursuing recycling business growth opportunities and assessing possible policy changes.

Virginia’s legislature directed the state’s Department of Environmental Quality in 2020 to create the task force to examine how the state could improve recycling, waste diversion and source reduction. The group, made up of waste and recycling organizations, business groups, government agencies and other stakeholders, submitted the final report in late 2022.”
