Recycle Those Christmas Trees in Charlottesville and Albemarle
View Christmas Tree Recycling in Charlottesville-Albemarle in a larger map From the County of Albemarle : Trees will be recycled into free mulch for the public It’s almost that time of year again! As in the past, the Albemarle County Parks & Recreation Dept will host its annual Christmas Tree Recycling Program beginning December 26, 2009 through January 16, 2010. … Shortly after the City’s curbside pick up, the County and City Parks & Recreation crews will team up to chip the estimated 2600 trees at Darden Towe Park. … The sites are as follows : – Chris Greene Lake in Earlysville – Crozet Park – Darden Towe Park – Greenwood Community Center * – Rivanna Solid Waste Authority Recycling Center on McIntire Road (*note: Sunday hours are 12noon – 5pm) – Scottsville Community Center – Walnut Creek Park The recycling location on McIntire Road may be congested; please consider Darden Towe Park as an alternate location that is less congested and is suited better for large loads and contract haulers.
Note from a Reader – Access to Subdivisions
Jim: One thing I looked at when comparing properties was if the subdivision had more than one access; I was surprised at how many were dependent on one way in/out. … This isn’t something I’ve ever thought about, but in light of the snowpocalypse, it’s a pretty good idea. One thing I do tell my clients relocating to the Charlottesville area from other regions is this – when considering the “sub regions” within Charlottesville and Albemarle , consider this – Crozet is the only area with two major roads – 250 and 64 – accessing it. Think about it – 29 North – has 29 Pantops – has 250 and 64, but they converge about a mile too early.
Thank you Charlottesville Media – Snowpocalypse
Thank you to: CBS19 – Twitter NBC29 – Twitter If you’re looking for closings, the above two are probably the best places to go. Daily Progress – Twitter . The HooK – Twitter C-Ville cvillenews – Twitter VDOT – 511.org – Traffic cameras of interstates and other roads I assume WINA radio was on top of their game too, but I don’t listen to radio at home.

Charlottesville Blizzard 2009 – Snowpocalypse
From my experience driving in Crozet tonight, people don’t realize: 1) Stopping and/or going fast in slick conditions is bad.
…We’re now about 6″ into 10-14″ for tonight with another 11-14″ expected tomorrow. CBS19 Weather said (at 21:34:) 10″ of snow reported at the Lake Monticello area in Fluvanna. – Brantley
briandickert said: 7″ of snow so far in Afton (1400′) and still falling fast.
