Glenmore Trash Going “Green”

admin — Sat, 05 Dec 2009 14:40:59 +0000

Glenmore residents no longer need to separate recyclables!!

Residents can safely dispose of all trash in the regular trash can, with the confidence that it will be properly separated and recyclable materials recaptured. The garbage from Glenmore residents will no longer be dumped into the landfill. Dixon Trash Disposal will no longer send a separate truck to pick up bags for recycling, and there will be no increase in their fees to Glenmore residents.

Thanks to a new relationship with Van der Linde Recycling, Dixon Trash Disposal has now added a service for trash removal that will help reduce their customers’ impact on the environment by allowing more than 90% of their garbage to be recycled. The service is called Single Stream Recycling (also known as “fully commingled”). This refers to a system in which all paper fibers and containers are mixed together in a collection truck, instead of being sorted into separate commodities by the resident and handled separately throughout the collection process. In single stream, both the collection and processing systems are designed to handle this fully commingled mixture of recyclables. Residential single-stream programs have greatly increased the recycling rates, recovering as much as three times the amount of recyclable materials. Van der Linde’s Monster Green Machine can process 100 tons of trash per hour, and recycle over 90% of it.

“We are excited to be able to provide this earth-friendly service to our clients,” stated Michael Dixon, owner of Dixon Disposal. “We’re very pleased to be one of the few disposal companies in the area to offer single stream recycling, making it efficient and easy for our customers to reduce their impact on the environment.”

Kiplinger Ranks Charlottesville #4

admin — Fri, 29 May 2009 17:23:31 +0000

No. 4 Charlottesville, Virginia

By Stacy Rapacon
From Kiplinger’s Personal Finance magazine, July 2009

RENAISSANCE TOWN

Population: 190,560
Income Growth:4.8%
Cost of Living Index: 106
Median Household Income: $53,076
Percentage of Workforce in Creative Class: 38%

Thomas Jefferson would be proud of how his hometown has grown up. The Renaissance man laid the foundation for what has become a well-rounded city. From his University of Virginia’s hollering Hoos to the artists on the downtown promenade, the Charlottesville community is an unexpected blend of Southern charm and liberal edge, with a strong business base.

At the heart of it all is Jefferson’s university, and its concept of an “academical village.” The village is built around an architecture meant to foster lifelong learning and ensure interaction between students and faculty. Today the university spreads that intellectual spirit to its surrounding city, and the school employs 18,000 people — one-fourth of the local workforce.

But UVA provides Charlottesville with more than employment. The faculty’s research, especially in biotechnology, often results in private spinoff companies, such as former professor Martin Chapman’s Indoor Biotechnologies, which develops allergen-detecting products. And UVA produces fine employees, too. Graduates “provide good intellectual talent,” says Michael Latsko, chief talent officer for SNL Financial, a global financial-research firm headquartered in Charlottesville.

The city is a two-hour drive from Washington, D.C., and three hours from the Norfolk naval base. This proximity helped it draw in the U.S. Army National Ground Intelligence Center, which employs 750 people in a variety of fields, including engineering and foreign affairs. Next year the center will add 800 to 1,600 jobs.

Big, stable employers plus the UVA student body add up to paying customers for the small businesses that give Charlottesville its spunk. An eclectic mix of more than 150 shops, galleries and restaurants line the historic downtown pedestrian mall. For example, one-year-old Siips Wine and Champagne Bar has already become a hot spot with its ballroom-dancing and tango nights. Just a block away, Sharon Nichols opened her Dog and Horse Lovers Boutique a year earlier. She chose Charlottesville for her dream store because it’s a “vibrant city surrounded by horse country.”

U.S. News announces 10 Best Cities for Job-seeking Retirees

admin — Tue, 28 Apr 2009 17:12:57 +0000

U.S. News & World Report lists Charlottesville:

Many of the best places to find enjoyable work in retirement are college towns like Lubbock, Texas, and Charlottesville, Va., both of which have major universities and hospitals that provide plenty of jobs. At Cornell University in Ithaca, N.Y., 43 percent of employees are age 50 or older. The university also offers valuable perks that may appeal to older workers, such as health screenings on campus, paid time off for caregiving responsibilities, and compressed workweeks…

Record Crowd Expected at 3rd Annual LOOK3 Festival of the Photograph
