The City’s contractor for recycling has moved to a new, larger recycling bin. These blue – topped bins have recently been distributed throughout the Randolph.

Items of note:

• Bins should be put in the alley, not in front of the residence, in order to be emptied. The trucks now come through the alleys
• At this time, there is only one size of recycling can.
• The smaller green bins can be recycled at the October 17th Recycling Event

Following the success of burger week earlier this summer, Style Weekly is promoting a week of discounted sandwiches around the Richmond area. Each establishment will feature one or two menu or freshly created items for the affordable price of five dollars. Check out some of the local businesses involved and the general website here.

Free Opera This Saturday

It’s free opera in the park at Dogwood Dell this Saturday. Virginia Opera performs its third free performance, a popular event that draws full capacity every year. Programmed with all ages in mind, this year’s Opera in the Park will feature music from “Don Giovanni” and “The Tales of Hoffman,” as well as highlights from this season’s upcoming productions including “Orpheus in the Underworld,” “La Bohème,” “Romeo and Juliet” and “The Flying Dutchman.” There will also be a handful of Broadway hits from “West Side Story,” “Into the Woods” and “Showboat.” Dogwood Dell opens at 6 PM, concert begins at 7:30 PM. Get there early to nab a seat. Picnics welcome, no alcohol.

We are working with GRTC to install trash cans at bus stops throughout the neighborhood. It is very important that you take a moment to call during the public comment period and state you are in favor of the trash cans.

The public comment period for stop #204 (Allen & Winder) will end next Friday, September 4, 2015. Please take a moment to call 804-358-3872 ext. 514 today.

Next month you should see signs for public comment at bus stops along Idlewood Ave. Thank you for your support in helping keep our neighborhood litter free.

This Wednesday is a red Wednesday, which means trash and recycling pickup.

This will be the first time for the entire Randolph neighborhood to use the new, larger rolling recycling containers. Ideally, they are stored and deployed in the back alleys along with trash cans. If you have elderly neighbors or any vacant RRHA homes, please help out by moving their new recycling bins to the alleys.

Remember to sign up for Recycling Perks! You can earn discounts and coupons for recycling.
