As forewarned, the new recycling containers were delivered in the neighborhood on August 10. It looks like a lot of residents are still figuring out what to do with them. Ideally, they are stored and deployed in the back alleys along with trash cans. However, some Oregon Hill houses do not have alley access, and some of those do not even have easy access to their back yards. Residents should try to do the best they can to adapt. Ultimately, the Central Virginia Waste Management Authority (CVWMA) is responsible for the roll out of the new recycling program and can answer questions. The hope is that these new recycling cans will encourage more recycling and reduce clutter and spillovers on front sidewalks. Don’t forget to sign up for “Recycling Perks”.
