What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

The Charlottesville City Council held a work session on August 17 to review ongoing efforts to update local plans for coordinated sustainable waste removal in the region. These efforts fall under the Thomas Jefferson Solid Waste Planning Unit (TJSWPU), which is composed of the City of Charlottesville, Albemarle County, Fluvanna County, and Greene County. The updated management plan establishes broader goals for the region's waste disposal practices, including aiming for an average recycling rate of at least 25 percent. Localities within the TJSWPU are responsible for developing localized action plans that align with these regional goals.
