Less curbside recycling soon?

The Chesterfield Board of Supervisors will be evaluating a change in CVWMA recycling collection from bi-weekly (which still is in effect) to once every 4 weeks.

Discussion scheduled for the Board of Supervisors at their April 15th meeting. If approved, the changes would start July 6th.

NBC12 has reported on this news, noting that the company who performs the collection, Tidewater, “believes the change will cut it’s pick up by nearly 600-tons which equals to thousands of lost revenue dollars. Right now, four to as many as 20 employees could lose their jobs.” In addition, NBC12 identified that the change is “upsetting residents” specifically with regards to the volume of recycling already being collected, and that they already have enough recycling collected for the bi-weekly schedule. I personally would agree with this.

For those who would oppose the change, there is a coalition that has formed, called Recycle Twice. There you can join the coalition, which currently has a little under 500 members.

There’s some empty space, lets build!

Another large residential zoning proposal is going before the Chesterfield Councils tonight. Over a month ago Branner Station, which encompasses 1,614 acres, will include almost 5,000 homes and apartments, 470,000 square feet of business space, parks and two school sites, was presented and approved. Now Roseland will be presented, 5,140 residences — 60 percent single-family, 40 percent multifamily — and 1.5 million square feet of commercial and office space.
