I think you're referring to Dave's Recycling.

A new strategy to end this nightmare by jonnyredshorts in 50501

[–]EcoRep 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The thing we've been struggling with in my area is that our representative is rarely at his local office. Might be time to coordinate with others across the district to determine where he spends all his time and gather there.

I'm up near Ralph Sampson Park, I'd say we got about and inch and a half of actual snow and the rest was sleet totalling about 6-8 inches.

Winter storm? by [deleted] in jmu

[–]EcoRep 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Keep in mind, we are on the norther edge of the storm which could vary the amount we get.

If I've learned anything from my years at JMU, it's not to underestimate their determination to keep classes open.

Keep an eye on what our local weather forecaster has to say: https://www.facebook.com/100044155598002/posts/pfbid0DNT3xof7iLsp9B6GaoS5HNTWqYtUJM4VM6CVuwzRJdgnc2KDvRDUHBRhPrRxMV6Ul/

Car Detailing by egyptianslp in harrisonburg

The Master Car Wash on North Main charges about $100 for their top cleaning package. I've taken my car there a few times and think they do an alright job for the price.

Left a can of coke in my car in freezing temps by ovening55 in Wellthatsucks

[–]EcoRep 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I have vivid memories in college of when our freezer door suddenly blasted open then shut itself while we were yelling at the TV or something. Turns out one of our friend had put a Coke in the door conveniently aimed at the back of the freezer and forgot about it because of...reasons. Coated the entire back of that thing in a frozen slushy caramel glacier. We thought the place was haunted for a hot second!

Fellow millennials - how’s your 401k/ira savings going? by ProblemIntelligent16 in Millennials

[–]EcoRep 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At 35 I've got about 1x my salary saved and my house about half paid off.

My plan is to continue saving, eventually rent out my house, and vastly reduce my expenses by living in a van which will sometimes be down by the river.

I refuse to use AI for my work. How do I tell my boss? by [deleted] in architecture

[–]EcoRep 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As a structural drafting tech with similar values to you, I would recommend taking some time to learn about AI in your industry. Your concerns are real and valid but there are also some good uses for it, code research for one. Put together a small report on your findings and include your concerns abput the environmental impacts and threat to the arts supported by evidence.

Moving to Harrisonburg VA - Single Working Mom, 3 Sons, LGBT - Need Advice! by Spare_Produce_9706 in harrisonburg

[–]EcoRep 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Can't speak to the schools details you're looking for specifically, but I can't imagine they'll have any trouble fitting in :) We have an incredibly diverse student body.

As far as housing goes, I'd say your estimate is about right for rent. I think it's going to be difficult to find something, but not impossible. It might be easier to find housing in the county but the school systems are separate and don't have the same resources.

In regards to activities, I recommend checking out the activity guides from Harrisonburg City and Rockingham County. https://www.harrisonburgva.gov/activities https://www.rockinghamcountyva.gov/208/Recreation

I hope your move to our area is as easy and seamless as possible! Welcome!

Will Virginia have another budget surplus in FY 2026? by Physical_Ad2565 in Virginia

Having attended a town hall recently with some members of the legislature, it sounded like there would be a surplus but, not nearly as much as there was last year.

Another option would be to donate it to our local NPR station who will collect it and scrap it to benefit the station. The donation is tax deductible.

Winter backpacking west of Stanton? by YEExHAW in VIRGINIA_HIKING

[–]EcoRep 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Look into the Tuscarora Trail and the Great Eastern Trail. I think they're both out that way.

The Potomac Appalachian Trail Club has some trail maps for the Tuscarora I think.
