Have any old electronics that need to be recycled?  Saturday, March 7th, from 9 a.m.- 2 p.m., the Diamond will collect  electronics  that can be recycled instead of ending up in the landfill.  The city will also be collecting herbicides and pesticides for safe disposal. Thanks to the North Richmond News for passing along the details:

The City is gearing up for its annual electronic recycling day, just in time for those looking to recycle their analog televisions during the digital television transition. We’re not only accepting televisions, you can drop off your computers, fax machines, stereos, microwaves, and other household electronics. We’re even accepting herbicides and pesticides! Check out the attached flyer and pass it along to friends and neighbors!

Does your house need repairs? Are you unable to take care of them yourself? Maybe your neighbor could use some help with upkeep. Check out this great community program:

Henrico County is looking for homes to add to the 2009 project
list of Operation Paintbrush – the free program that coordinates
repainting and minor repairs of county residences whose owners, whether due to age, disability or financial hardship, cannot do the work themselves. Residents and others are encouraged to contact the county to suggest homes for the program.

Designed to preserve Henrico’s moderate- and low-income housing, prevent neighborhood blight and help eligible residents, Operation Paintbrush recruits volunteers to prepare and paint the exterior of qualifying homes. Light repair work, such as replacing rotted boards or cleaning and mowing a yard, may be performed as well.

To suggest a home for Operation Paintbrush, contact Slough at 501-7628 or e-mail slo09@co.henrico.va.us.

Richmond will open two hours late for students on Thursday. Employees will report on time.  Henrico will also report two hours late with employess reporting on time.
