A Very Successful E-vent!

DPW and the Clean City Commission can boast yet another highly successful event. In early March they held an electronics recycling, or e-cycling, event at The Diamond. Cars were beginning to line up even before it officially began. People were dropping off computers, television sets, microwaves and all kinds of other electronic equipment to be recycled. Ed Hilton of Richmond brought an old microwave oven. He said, “I don’t have to put it in a landfill. I hate doing that.” By the end of the day, some 34,680 pounds of electronic equipment had been brought in by City residents.

Pride in Richmond is Picking Up!

That is the slogan of the Richmond Clean City Commission (CCC). Officially created by city ordinance in 1993, it had its beginnings in 1975 as a part of the Keep America Beautiful initiative. Today the CCC sponsors programs that encourage citizens to clean, maintain and beautify their environment.
