There are many reasons to lament the switch to putting the clock one hour ahead Daylight Saving Time but the Rivanna Solid Waste Authority has offered one reason to celebrate.
On March 10, the McIntire Recycling Center began staying open one hour later until 6:30 p.m.
“The change coincides with daylight saving time and allows local residents to take advantage of the brighter evenings,” reads an information release sent out this afternoon.
The Rivanna Solid Waste Authority was created in 1990 to coordinate the future of the Ivy Landfill and has grown as an organization that seeks to provide resources for community members. The McIntire Recycling Center does not require proof of residency to use, but please remember the facility is closed on Tuesdays.
“Accepted materials include: aluminum beverage cans, corrugated cardboard, mixed paper, plastic films, #1 plastic containers, #2 plastic containers, office paper, glass, newsprint, mixed metals, compostable food waste, oyster shells, pizza boxes, and used cooking oil,” reads the release.
The hours will revert back to a 5:30 p.m. closing time on November 3 when daylight saving time ends. The center is always closed on a Tuesday.
