This Wednesday is a “Red Wednesday”, which means trash and recycling pickup. 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, there is a Chipotle Fundraiser for Sustainable RVA Zero Waste Initiative on April 3. This is happening at the Chipotle Mexican Grill located at 10 N. Nansemond Street.

From the FaceBook event page description:

We’re having a fundraiser! Dine at the Carytown Chipotle between 5:00-9:00 on Tuesday April 3rd and 50% of your purchase will go to SRVA and helping us help the community move toward zero waste. Just make sure you mention our name at checkout! To greenify your purchase please consider bringing your own utensils and water bottle— we will have a bin on the premises to collect bowls for composting.
