Recycle 4 Virginia
General Assembly Passes SB18
 
The Virginia Recycling Association (VRA) announces a special recycling license plate for the Commonwealth of Virginia. The Virginia General Assembly passed a bill in February that allows the VRA to produce the special interest plate. 
 
"The plate will show support for recycling and raise awareness, which is critical to our efforts in the battle to keep valuable material resources out of our landfills. And people can feel proud that $15 of each $25 plate purchased will help fund programs and initiatives aimed at increasing opportunities for growing recycling in Virginia," said VRA board member Toby Edwards.
 
In order to make the recycling plate a reality the association is collecting 350 plate pre-orders by July 31st.
                                    
The VRA strongly encourages those who care about recycling to drive home the point by pre-purchasing a recycling license plate. "Some special interest license plates have taken years because it took that long to get 350 pre-paid applications," said VRA staff. "We hope people order now if they are interested in purchasing the plate, so we can keep the process moving."

The VRA was formed in 1990 by a group of individuals who are committed to expanding state recycling opportunities. Since its inception, the VRA has become the leading resource of recycling information for our members, the general public, the Virginia General Assembly, local government, business, and industry.
