Local Government Support Extended

On August 1 and August 3, 2011, respectively, the City Council and the Board of Supervisors each voted to extend support for solid waste services provided through the Rivanna Solid Waste Authority through at least June 30, 2012. The terms of the contracts approved allow the County and City to extend these services two additional years, in one year increments, by exercising an option at least 60 days prior to the effective date of each additional term. Albemarle County extended support to both the Ivy Materials Utilization Center and the McIntire Recycling Center, while the City of Charlottesville extended support to the McIntire Center.
