Have you been to the Grandin Chillage this year? CVC is happy to be one of the sponsors of this great community event! You still have three more chances, and the next event is this Friday, July 21! Tickets are $5, and the gates open at 5:30pm. #grandinchillage

It's time to consider alternatives to EPS (part 3 of 3)! EPS will soon be banned in Virginia. By July 2028, large food establishments with more than 20 locations will have to stop using EPS with the rest of the food vendors discontinuing use by July 2030.conta.cc/43iE9rn

Could we *BEE* any more excited about the new Bee City signs!? Have you seen them around the city? Our staff spotted them on Plantation Road, near Vic Thomas Park, and this one here that is next to our offices in Grandin. 🐝🐝

It's time to consider alternatives to EPS (part 2 of 3)! What can you do to move away from EPS? Bring your own reusable containers, use recyclable paper products, foil or metal, or recyclable plastic containers. We carry water bottles everywhere we go--why not food containers?

It's time to consider alternatives to EPS! Expanded Polystyrene (EPS) foam takes hundreds of years to break down, often becomes litter due to its lightweight size, and studies have shown that EPS may be carcinogenic (cancer-causing) as well as damaging to liver and nerve tissue.

Roanoke Valley Resource Authority provides FREE Household Hazardous Waste Collection Events for County of Roanoke, City of Roanoke, Town of Vinton and City of Salem residents on the 3rd Saturday of each month. For registration and info, please visit conta.cc/3CmmT9X

It's time for Plastic Free July! Will you answer the call to move away from using plastic? Reusable items like straws and grocery bags may seem like small changes but they make a big impact! Share your plastic-free tips by posting your photos and tagging #plasticfreeCVC
