Trash/Recycling Pickup Tomorrow
This Wednesday is a red Wednesday, which means trash and recycling pickup.
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 you have not done so already, don’t forget to sign up for your Recycling Perks.
In order to take your recycling to the next level, read this: 10 ways to improve your recycling. There was a recent Richmond.com column on local recycling.
In recycling news, the American Chemistry Council (ACC) has announced the winners of the 2015 Innovation in Plastics Recycling Award.
