Charlottesville and Albemarle residents are all abuzz over the expanded composting services in the community.
In the first week of the new program, Rivanna’s McIntire Recycling Center collected 150 lbs of food waste and household compostables in five days! NOPE, our pick-up hauler, also reported that only one item was found in the bins that was not allowable and that was a plastic bag. We urge everyone to remember to use compostable bags. The 3-gallon compostable bags (“Biobag” is the brand name) can be found at the following local retailers:
Whole Foods
Kroger
Bed, Bath and Beyond
As well as FREE at the composting kiosk at McIntire.
Thanks for everyone’s participation and enthusiasm! Check out the TV news story from Newsplex and NBC29 on the program.
