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, an assistant professor at West Virginia University is working to develop technology that would make urine recycling more accessible.

According to WVU Today, Kevin Orner is developing a technology that can treat urine on-site, rather than it having to be transported to a remote, centralized wastewater treatment facility.

The goal would be to transform waste collection and treatment into an environmentally beneficial service that makes money by allowing urine treatment to happen quickly by quickly recovering nitrogen from the urine through a device under the toilet.

Meeting On City-Initiated Zoning Changes Tomorrow Evening

The Department of Planning and Development Review is undertaking initiatives to rezone areas of the City to fit adopted plans and make changes to the Zoning Ordinance.

Tomorrow night the PDR Department will host a meeting at the Main Library (101 East Franklin Street)) and provide draft recommendations for the three proposed, City-wide zoning changes:

Revise Short-Term Rental Regulations (CPC Resolution of Intent – CPCR.2021.168)
Eliminate Parking Space Minimums (City Council Resolution – RES. 2021-R027)
Permit Accessory Dwelling Units (CPC Resolution of Intent – CPCR.2021.095)

This in-person meeting starts at 6 pm.

(Editor’s note: Given the way the neighbors’ concerns were ignored during the previous Richmond300 planning sessions, many of them are skeptical that their participation in these meetings will have any real impact.)
