This Wednesday is a red Wednesday, which means trash and recycling pickup. Please make sure you pick up containers after pickup tomorrow night. They do not belong on the sidewalk after tomorrow night.

In recycling news, congratulations to the students of George Mason Elementary School and the RVA Green Team for winning the Recycling Breakthrough Contest organized by the Sierra Club, Falls of the James Group. The $1,000 cash prize will help with future initiatives at the school that can then be taught to others in the Richmond Public School system.
