Will you be the one lucky survey participant to win $500? | Graphic by 6AM City
Happy New Year, Richmonders. To start the year off on the right foot, we need a little help from you.

Every morning, more than 38,000 of you welcome us into your inbox. And each day, we do our very best to provide you with timely, relevant information so you can get the most out of the city we call home.

We’re asking you to take two minutes to tell us a little more about yourself because the more we know about who you are, the better we can deliver information that you care about. Just two minutes. Feel free to skip any questions you don’t want to answer. We don’t want to pry. (Okay, we do, but for a good reason.)

We’ll be selecting one lucky survey participant to win $500. We’re rooting for you, RIC.

Thanks in advance for your feedback,

— Robin + David

Holiday

🌲 Recycling your Christmas tree

Recycling your Christmas tree in Richmond, VA

Sure, the holidays are all fun and games — but if you celebrate Christmas with a live tree, you know that sooner or later you have to deal with that “Night of the Living Dead” tree in the corner. Here’s how you can put an old tree to good use.

Drop-off recycling

Drop the tree off yourself at the Bring One for the Chipper Tree Recycling Event on Saturday, Jan. 13 from 10 a.m. until 2 p.m. at the Parker Field Annex by Robin Hood Road and North Arthur Ashe Boulevard.

The Central Virginia Waste Management Authority will also take your trees at the East Richmond Road Convenience Center (3800 E. Richmond Rd.) in the yard waste area or at the designated area at the Parker Field Annex through Jan. 13.

Make your own mulch

Why not use your tree for your own yard and spring garden? Ideally, you could shred it — Home Depot has mulchers for rent — but usually by the time the holidays are over, the needles will already be falling off. You can spread them in garden beds or over the lawn.
