Green Holiday Guide
|
This
holiday season, consider the impact your celebration has on the
environment. From the GIFTS you buy and the type of GIFT
WRAP you use, to the HOLIDAY CARDS you send, we hope
you'll find
these tips helpful this month, and all year long.

CVWMA Reminders About Holiday Recycling
|
- Because Christmas and New Years both fall on Saturdays this
year, Curbside Recycling collections will not be affected by
either holiday.
- Visit the CVWMA website,
www.cvwma.com, for helpful advice about disposing of Christmas
trees. The website will feature this information specific to each
locality closer to the end of the month.
- Wrapping paper cannot be recycled due to the metallic dyes
used in making it. (Instead save it and reuse it next year.)
- Cardboard boxes need to be flattened and should be no larger
than 2 x 3 feet. (You can cut boxes down to the appropriate size
using box cutters.)
- Don't cover your recyclables in inclement weather.

CVWMA
would like to thank our friends at Bank of America's Environmental
Network who helped make our night at the Richmond RiverDogs Hockey
game a success.
CVWMA encouraged fans to bring 6 aluminum cans with them to the
game. Bank of America volunteers were stationed at three entrances
of the coliseum.
Each person who brought cans received a genuine RiverDogs hockey
puck (made out of recycled rubber, of course).
Over 2,000 aluminum cans were collected at the event and 1,000
hockey pucks were distributed.
