Trash/Recycling Pickup Tomorrow Morning
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.
If it seems like pickup did not happen, use this online form:

Plan ahead: Richmond’s E Cycle Day will be held at 1710 Robin Hood Road on Saturday, May 11, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. The event is open to Richmond residents only, proof of residency will be required.
Hog Haven Farm Taking Over Peddler On Pine Space
Richmond Bizsense and WTVR have exciting news.
From their report:
Goochland’s Hog Haven Farm is moving into the former Peddler on Pine Street space at 238 S. Pine St., with plans to use the building as a prep kitchen for its growing business that’s fueled by its popular breakfast sandwiches.
Earlier this month, Hog Haven owners Rob Staples and Verde Shaffer bought the Pine Street building for $475,000.
Tucked away and located behind the Mocha Market on Idlewood Avenue, the 3,3000-square-foot space has sat vacant since the pick-up focused Peddler pizzeria closed in 2019 after roughly a year in business.
Residents are wondering when walk-up customers will be allowed at the location (and if there will be vegetarian options).
