Of course you do, so please take the brief Urban Community Forest Survey to share your thoughts, hopes, and advice for City planners. This is an important opportunity to weigh in on the future of our urban forest. Please complete the survey before 11:59pm on May 24.
** And after you submit your response, PLEASE scold City Planners for using an out of date map showing Charlottesville’s neighborhoods. It’s not a good sign that City Planners haven’t gotten the “news” that Little High is NOT a part of the Martha Jefferson neighborhood. This change went through a long time ago. If you have any uncertainty that Little High is indeed an independent neighborhood, see the City’s own website for confirmation:
If you have UNWANTED appliances, please donate them to the Habitat for Humanity store or post them to any of several Facebook groups where you can sell or give away things. If you have broken beyond any reasonable chance of repair appliances, the Rivanna Solid Waste Authority will be glad to take these off your hands for FREE this Saturday, May 2, 8:30am–4:00pm. You are responsible for loading and transporting your broken appliances to the Ivy Solid Waste & Recycling Center which is just a quick 20 minute drive from our neighborhood at 4576 Dick Woods Road, 22903.
If you have just a couple of small items, I can take them for you — first come, first serve while space is available. Write to me at LHNA.cville@gmail.com by Friday, May 1 at 7pm and I’ll make arrangements to pick up your smallish appliances.
If you have to have help loading your things into your vehicle you will need to bring that help with you to the Waste & Recycling Center. Staff are NOT available to help you during this event.
The RSWA will accept refrigerators, freezers, washers, dryers, kitchen stoves, furnaces, water heaters, air conditioners, dehumidifiers, heat pumps, microwaves, vacuum cleaners, and toasters.
Questions? More information about this event can be found on the RSWA’s website.
Neighborhood and Charlottesville Invasive Plant Partnership (CHIPP) volunteers will meet on Sunday, April 26, from 1 to 4pm to address the invasive vines that burden the tree canopy along the “headwaters” of Meade Creek behind the homes on E. Jefferson St between 12th St NE and Meade Ave. We’ll meet and get started at the area along 12th St NE between 1201 E. Market St (Pixels) and 208 12th St. NE. Everyone is welcome to join us or stop by to say hello and see what we’re up to!
The Rivanna Solid Waste Authority (RSWA) is hosting two more free collection events for Charlottesville and Albemarle County residents. These free collection events happen biannually, so if you miss this one the next opportunity will be in the fall. Everything you wish to discard has to be transported to the Ivy Solid Waste & Recycling Center which is located at 4576 Dick Woods Road, 22903 (about a 20 minute drive from Little High). Registration and tickets are NOT required to participate in these two events.
If anyone would like to offer the use of a pickup truck to others in the neighborhood it would be very much appreciated. Please write to us at lhna.cville@gmail.com and let us know.
Saturday, April 25 from 8:30am to 4:00pm.
The RSWA will accept recliners, sofas, loveseats, tables, chairs, bedframes, dressers, entertainment centers, mattresses, nightstands, coffee tables, and more at no charge!
