That is definitely good news, nice to see locales being able to take advantage of single stream. Anything we can do to make recycling easier, faster and cheaper in order to encourage greater use is a good thing. Hope you can find a way to encourage your friends and neighbors to participate, Jim!

That makes sense. Just emailed someone on the board of our HOA about adding it for our neighborhood.

Wouldnt it be great if they did recyclebank too? My parents have that up in Vienna, VA, and they are getting rewarded for recycling. What a great concept.

Peter –

I think this is new as of the past couple months; I sent them an email last week but haven’t gotten a response yet.

I got a new trash can (which itself was a reason to switch – same one for four years gets a bit icky) and a recycling bin specifically for the recycling stuff. They picked it up today; plastic, glass and aluminum in the same bin. Nice.

Our trash disposal company in Albemarle, Dixon’s, also recently began providing curbside recycling through Van Der Linde.

Forgive me, i don’t get it – and their website doesnt help. So now Time disposal will be taking our trash to this new facility that sorts it for recyclable materials? Or is it a second “recycling-only” bin that we’d get from Time? When does this change take place with Time?

If this is good as it sounds, I’m really excited…
