Central Virginia residents could win $100 for correctly recycling cardboard boxes
RICHMOND, Va. (WRIC) -- Do you recycle? If you recycle cardboard boxes correctly at your home in Central Virginia, you may have a chance at winning $100. For American Recycles Day on Nov. 15, the Central Virginia Waste Management Authority is launching its "Bucks for Boxes" cardboard box recycling contest. The authority said its staff will peruse neighborhoods and local recycling drop-off centers to find people who are recycling cardboard boxes correctly. This means that the boxes are clean, dry and empty, flattened/broken down and inside the curbside or drop-off container. Each week, one person will be chosen at random to win $100 cash. The contest begins Nov. 15 and ends Jan. 10. The authority said the contest is open to residential recyclers only, which means no businesses or workplaces are eligible to win. Eligible winners must be recycling at the curb, a Central Virginia Waste Management Authority drop-off or a local government convenience center in one of these areas: Richmond Chesterfield County Henrico County Hanover County Goochland County Colonial Heights Hopewell Petersburg New Kent County Powhatan County Town of Ashland Prince George County Charles City County For a map of the region’s recycling drop-offs, visit the authority's website.
