Tomorrow is a “Red Wednesday”, which means trash and recycling pickup.
Please go over what can be recycled.

NOTE: CVWMA (Central Virginia Waste Management Authority) has announced that all curbside recycling must now be INSIDE the CVWMA containers with lid closed. Items beside the container or on top of it will not be collected. In fact, incorrect setouts may not be collected at all. This is new as of July 1 for all our curbside recyclers, with the exception of townhomes/condos still using small bins. (And yes, this also applies to flattened cardboard boxes.)

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. More CVWMA information can be found at this link:

In recycling news, besides tariff chaos, the city of Hoboken, New Jersey, has announced the arrival of its first fully electric waste collection truck, funded in part through an almost $700,000 grant from the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (NJDEP). This truck joins the city’s lineup of 30 electric or hybrid vehicles, including two shuttle buses delivered along with new waste collection truck.

The city says the new collection truck will replace an existing diesel hauler and will begin servicing Hoboken neighborhoods in the coming weeks.

In addition to lowering greenhouse gas emissions and reducing noise pollution, the electric vehicles are expected to improve overall air quality while offering a smoother, quieter experience for residents, according to the city of Hoboken.
