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, Richmond Magazine recently featured a story on new restaurant Kitchen33, which hopes to set a news standard for sustainability.
Excerpt:

The difference between styrofoam containers and sugar cane or bamboo containers, which Kitchen33 uses, is 8 cents per unit. “We’ve been cleaning up other restaurants’ trash for the last six years,” he says. “We would talk to a lot of restaurants about getting rid of single-use plastic, so with Kitchen33, it was our idea of what restaurants should be as far as being environmentally responsible.”
