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.

As for recycling news, which local universities have their recycling game on? Sadly, according to the website, only two Virginia schools are participating in the Game Day Challenge: UVA and VMI. Where’s VCU, VSU, U of R, and VUU?

And don’t forget the Sierra Club Falls of the James’ Recycling Breakthrough Contest. The group is sponsoring a contest for Richmond Area Elementary and Secondary Schools. The goal is to foster greater recycling participation throughout the Richmond metropolitan area. First prize is $1,000! For more information, please click here.
