Arms on trucks with uniform carts will increase the efficeincy of pickups, reduce the amount of staff needed, and expand access to recycling. A fair number of people only have bins, and don't want to carry something to the curb, alley, etc. Bins will (hopefully) make recycling more accessible, increase the volume of recycling, and the number of people who do recycle.

If they're filled with trash, they won't be picked up. Contamination (trash in bins) cause major issues and so can's with trash aren't picked up. If your bins are just recyclables and they're being missed you should call their customer service.

do you remember what kind of clover you used? I was trying to find the native clover but without luck.

A coworker just reported the same concierge conversation you're mentioning. She was really put-out and frankly can't afford another $1800/yr on top of insurance premiums.
She asked her doctor about it and he said that he's short staffed and overwhelmed by patients. He claimed the concierge model would allow him to spend more time with patients but didn't specify how that would affect patient insurance coverage, final costs, etc.
I think it's a shitty business decision, and indicative of a failed healthcare model. The gap between people who can afford healthcare is widening and that's terrifying.

i was thinking about over seeding some clover but haven't really done more than think about it.

I've been in RVA for about 13 years, and I've always enjoyed these. A little bit of love and brightness to a derelict signpost or rusted pole.

I apologize in advance for dodging your question by saying better is subjective, and also ignoring your geography requirements, but have ya'll tried Saucy's BBQ Brisket in Petersburg & Hopewell?
My first trip I got the pulled pork, which was good but nothing crazy. The second time I chose brisket and I'm still thinking about it. So unexpected and so delicious.

Reply to comment by i_need_a_lift in Where can I find one of those "Your speed:" radar signs? by i_need_a_lift
so, it looks like you found the quick and dirty solution, but I wanted to let you know that some auto shops offer speedometer calibration for $75-100. They set your car up on a set of rollers (a dynamometer) and can verify the actual vs. speedometer readout and adjust accordingly.
This helped me in my earlier life with speeding tickets (and it was cheaper back then) but it will undoubtedly help you now if you need a calibration.

This looks like an interstitial loading scene that you'd get really excited for only to have before a really boring 'top down' view of a lighthouse that has a spartan layout, something like a spyglass in a chest, a frayed rope, and an oily rag. None of it really makes any sense, but nothing really is so far out of place that you questioned it.
Later, this same scene will appear with a dark blue sky and a yellow 'light beam'.

>When Enrichmond was recognized as the recipient of the funding, his organization sabotaged any attempt of cooperation with Enrichmond.
This kerfuffle wasn't without results. It gained a lot of media attention and led to the city suspending all funding to enrichmond for all of their cemetery programs, not just the one with the drama and dispute. I don't remember reading that it was ever resumed, but that's not the kind of thing that makes the news, or that I would look for. I just remember thinking that was probably the end of the foundation. It also happened around the time that human remains were found (somewhere they shouldn't have been?).

Reply to Best place to find cheap furniture that delivers or is in a box I can transport in a car? by SpicyyySalsaaa
I've had this same situation in my life. I don't want to buy flatpack but getting furniture home is hard. I've done these things:
-
Hardware Truck - You can rent a flatbed truck from a lowes or Home Depot for like $20/hour. It doesn't have ratchet straps or anything, and it's first come/first serve so they are limited. Easier in the winter tho.
-
U-Haul - in town rentals for a truck are like $20 + mileage but they have a reservation system. You know what you're getting but it's a bit more expensive.
-
Paid Help. There used to be a reddit guywithatruck or ihaveatruck or something that was happy to help for a VERY reasonable fee.
-
Store Delivery - restrict your shopping to stores with delivery. It's not easy or cheap.
