Rescue Recycling in Prince William County
New recycling guidelines explained
Prince William, VA, July 2019 – Contamination standards and the closing of the Asian export markets for some plastics has resulted in increased processing cost and limited to non-existent markets for several materials that were required to be recycled in the County. In April, the Prince William County Solid Waste Division revised its requirements for materials that should be recycled. The changes were made to help sustain recycling in our community.
This change affects all recycling containers, including residential curbside recycling bins, blue recycling trailers located throughout the County, recycling bins located at County Landfill and Balls Ford Road Compost Facility and Saturday collection sites provided by the County at Evergreen Fire Station and Nokesville school.
Several items, required in the past to be recycled, are no longer accepted because the market demand for these items has diminished substantially, or processing infrastructure in our region is non-existent. The most important changes for Prince William County residents, businesses and refuse haulers are the elimination of glass bottles and jars and elimination of plastic containers, tubs and buckets (usually numbered 3-7) from recycling collection.
The new
recycling guidelines information sheet
depicts the items that are being recycled. It also features several "wishful recycling" favorites that should not be placed in regular recycling containers. This new recycling information sheet is also
available in Spanish
. Residents are asked to pay attention to items placed in the recycling container. Remember, only recycle materials that are accepted at this time. Placing the wrong items in the recycling container may cause the entire load to be rejected. The Solid Waste Division recently launched a new
A to Z Disposal Guide
to help residents determine the right way to dispose of numerous household items.
Even though glass and some plastics have been removed from the acceptable list, many other materials remain on the list of items that are required to be recycled. Residents and business should continue to recycle cardboard, paperboard, clean paper, plastic bottles and jugs (#1 and #2) and aluminum and steel cans. To avoid contamination, all materials placed in recycling containers should be empty, clean, dry and loose. Do not place items in a plastic bag and do not put plastic bags in regular recycling containers for recycling.
The County now provides
purple bins
for at the Prince William County Landfill and the Balls Ford Road Compost Facility for residents to deposit glass bottles and jars. This glass will be sent to a
glass crusher in Fairfax County
and will be used in construction projects. Prince William County resident may also use the glass drop center at the Fairfax County Recycling and Disposal Center which is located at 9850 Furnace Road in Lorton.
In addition to placing only the appropriate items in the recycling container, another important waste management practice is waste reduction. At an April board meeting, in addition to talking about recycling changes and hauler collection challenges, Solid Waste Division Chief Tom Smith shared with County Supervisors that the landfill receives about 1200 tons of trash daily, and he noted, "The first level of defense is reducing the amount of waste you generate. We want to encourage everyone to reduce the amount of waste generated." Smith recounted a conversation he had about recycling with a resident of the Occoquan District. The resident told Smith, he and his wife stopped using paper plates because they cannot be recycled. They also starting using refillable water bottles and filtered tap water to reduce their use of single-use water bottles. Even though water bottles can still be recycled in Prince William County, limiting the use of them reduces the waste generated and that is even better than recycling.
A few other waste reduction and waste management tips that are relatively easy for residents to implement, include: the purchase of items in containers and packaging that can be recycled locally, for example, purchase beverages in cans, which are recycled locally, versus glass bottles; stop junk mail and use reusable shopping bags to reduce waste.
The Solid Waste Division continues to work with local trash and recycling collection companies and Material Recovery Facilities/recycling center operators to help communicate changes and best practices for recycling and waste disposal in Prince William County. Residents that have a concern about trash and recycling collection should contact their hauler first. However, if that does not result in an acceptable resolution, there is a
Refuse Hauler Complaint
form on the Solid Waste Division webpage.
5 Tips to Rescue Recycling in Prince William County
1.
Don't put glass containers or other glass items in the regular recycling container. Look for
special purple bins
at the Prince William County Landfill and Balls Ford Road Compost Facility for glass bottles and jars recycling/repurposing.
2.
Recycle plastic bottles and jugs (#1 and #2); place all other plastic containers in the trash.
3.
Determine the
right items
to recycle and place them in the recycling container clean, dry and loose.
4.
Don't place empty plastic bags or plastic bags with recyclables in regular recycling containers. Take
plastic bags
back to grocery stores and other participating retailers to be recycled.
5.
Use the new
A to Z Disposal Guide
for information on how to recycle, donate or dispose of items properly in Prince William County.

Kaiser Permanente Increases Access to
Its Best-in-Nation Care
in Prince William County, Va., with 21
st
-Century Medical Center
New state-of-the-art medical center in Woodbridge, Va., will provide 24/7 access to Kaiser Permanente’s award-winning medical care
Kaiser Permanente will open a new five-story, state-of-the-art multi-specialty medical center in Woodbridge, Va. This new medical center, which will open in 2021, will support the growing demand for Kaiser Permanente’s award-winning health care and coverage in and around Prince William County.
Kaiser Permanente is recognized nationally and regionally as one of the top health systems for excellence in patient care outcomes. Year over year, Kaiser Permanente has achieved outcomes that are unmatched by other health systems in the nation, according to the National Committee for Quality Assurance’s Quality Compass. These accolades include being among the most successful health systems in the nation for breast cancer screening, colorectal cancer screening and cervical cancer screening.
“We are excited to open a new multi-specialty medical center, which will include a broad array of clinical services such as an integrated multidisciplinary cancer care and a comprehensive women and maternal health program,” said Kim Horn, regional president of Kaiser Permanente. “Our new medical center will highlight our integrated health system by offering primary care and specialty services in one convenient location. It will be tailor-made to support our members while they are healthy or if they develop complicated disorders or chronic diseases by offering the most up-to-date methods and technology to quickly diagnose and treat disorders and diseases.”
Located at 13285 Minnieville Road in Woodbridge, the 241,357-square-foot medical center will be the seventh major Kaiser Permanente “hub” in the region. It will offer an unparalleled array of primary and specialty medical care services, including pharmacy, lab, women’s health, specialty care and behavioral health services - all conveniently located under one roof.
This new hub will be equipped with the most innovative and advanced health care technology designed to enhance each patient’s care experience. Members can also utilize Kaiser Permanente’s suite of telehealth services with physicians in the medical center.
“I am proud that we are adding a medical hub in Prince William County so our patients will experience even easier access to our award-winning physicians,” said Richard McCarthy, MD, associate executive director of the Mid-Atlantic Permanente Medical Group, which provides care for Kaiser Permanente members in Maryland, Virginia and the District of Columbia. “This building was designed with help from our doctors to ensure our patients get the best and broadest range of integrated care possible in the Mid-Atlantic. Our patients are amazed by the quality, service and efficiency of their care when Permanente primary care doctors work in the same building as our Permanente specialists, and are all supported by cutting-edge radiology, lab, pharmacy, observation unit and surgical suites.”
Kaiser Permanente hubs like this one offer not only primary care services, but also the ability to care for members with health concerns that are too complex for a traditional doctor’s office but do not require a hospital admission. A full range of physicians are available around the clock to provide expertise and care.
This year, Kaiser Permanente’s cancer program for Virginia, Maryland and the District of Columbia received a Three-Year Accreditation with Commendation from the Commission on Cancer, a quality program of the American College of Surgeons. The accreditation recognizes that Kaiser Permanente provides the full range of cancer care: prevention, early diagnosis, cancer staging, optimal treatment, rehabilitation, life-long follow-up for recurrent disease, and end-of-life care.
Potential members can learn more about Kaiser Permanente’s outstanding care at the
Clinical Excellence website
. Information is available about Kaiser Permanente’s health system, the award-winning Permanente physicians and the care they provide in areas like maternity, pediatrics, oncology, neurology and cardiology.
“It has been a pleasure working with so many different Kaiser Permanente leaders over the past two years to assist in bringing this medical center to the Occoquan District in eastern Prince William County,”
said Ruth Anderson,
Occoquan District Supervisor.
“This center is close to public transit and Interstate 95. Those who wait with much anticipation for the 2021 opening include patients who now travel long miles on congested roadways to receive care, future medical center employees who will be able to work where they live, those of us who have been working toward more jobs in Prince William, and the adjacent residents who will have access to care and a wellness park with universal playground equipment! Welcome Kaiser Permanente!”
Kaiser Permanente is committed to the communities that are home to its members and employees. For example, Kaiser Permanente is helping Prince William County convert a decommissioned commuter parking lot into a dynamic neighborhood park, which will have a trail connecting to the new medical center.
Kaiser Permanente will open three new medical centers in Virginia this year.
The 40,000-square-foot Alexandria Medical Center at The Exchange in the Potomac Yard area of Alexandria, Va., opened in April.
The 38,375-square-foot Colonial Forge Medical Center, which will be located on the Stafford Hospital campus, and the 36,423-square-foot Haymarket Crossroads Medical Center, which will be conveniently located near I-66, will both open later this year.
Out of more than 1,000 health plans evaluated this year, Kaiser Permanente’s Private and Medicare plans in Virginia, Maryland and the District of Columbia, all received the highest possible rating (5 out of 5) from the National Committee for Quality Assurance. The organization’s Medicaid plans in Maryland and Virginia received the highest rating as well. According to the NCQA’s Health Insurance Plan Ratings 2018-19 national report, Kaiser Permanente’s health system in Maryland, Virginia and the District of Columbia is among the top one percent of plans in the nation as evaluated by NCQA’s rigorous review process.
Kaiser Permanente of the Mid-Atlantic States also received the highest possible rating of 5 out of 5 stars from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services for quality and service. This is the seventh year in a row the organization has received 5 out of 5 stars.

OmniRide Launches Real-Time App
|
WOODBRIDGE, VA –
OmniRide now has its own mobile app to provide passengers with real-time bus arrival information and updates.
The OmniRide app, which was developed by Ride Systems, is free and can be found by searching for OmniRide in your mobile device’s app store.
The app has a bus tracker that enables riders to see a map with an icon showing the exact location of their bus and predicting the actual arrival time of the bus at all but the first bus stop along the route. This fall the app will be updated so that all OmniRide buses – including those that are not yet picking up passengers – will be tracked.
“Everyone who has ever used public transportation knows there’s an element of uncertainty about when the bus will arrive. People waiting at a bus stop are constantly looking down the road to see the first sign of their bus, but this new app takes away that uncertainty,” said Prince William County Supervisor Ruth Anderson, who also serves as chair of the Potomac and Rappahannock Transportation Commission (PRTC), which oversees OmniRide.
Riders can select the routes and bus stops they use most often and receive one-time or regular reminders to leave for the bus stop based on the bus’s real-time predicted arrival.
Having an alert feature is a great convenience for riders traveling after the sun sets or during extreme weather, Anderson said, noting that riders can stay in their offices in the afternoons until receiving the alert and have peace of mind that they won’t miss the bus or wait for a long time at the bus stop.
Another feature enables riders to receive notifications about changes affecting their favorite routes, such as road construction that has temporarily closed a bus stop.
The app is expected to reduce the waiting time to speak with OmniRide customer service agents. For user convenience, the app also has a direct link to OmniRide’s website and to the OmniRide Trip Planner.
Real-time OmniRide bus information also is available on Google Transit.
About Us
The Potomac and Rappahannock Transportation Commission (PRTC), operating as OmniRide, provides a variety of services in Prince William County, the City of Manassas and the City of Manassas Park including: OmniRide Express and OmniRide Local bus routes; OmniRide Ridesharing for the promotion of carpools and vanpools; and OmniRide Employer Services which helps businesses to implement and expand commuter benefit programs. PRTC also co-sponsors the Virginia Railway Express in partnership with the Northern Virginia Transportation Commission.

PWC Police Department Joins Neighbors App
|
The Police Department is pleased to join other law enforcement agencies across the nation in partnering with the Neighbors app by Ring. This new effort is part of the Department's continued commitment to working with members of our community to deter and solve crime in our neighborhoods.
Anyone with a smartphone can download the free Neighbors app and use it to share images, videos and information about crime and safety related incidents in real-time. Prince William County can now join the conversation and use information shared to aid investigators in identifying suspects and directing patrols to necessary areas in order to deter crimes.
The Neighbors app by Ring is a way to provide real-time crime and safety information to our community. Ring launched the Neighbors app in May of 2018 as a free way for community members and local law enforcement to share real-time local crime and safety information whether they own a Ring device or not. The Neighbors app network has millions of users across the nation and has already been proven in other jurisdictions to catch package thieves, stop burglaries, and keep neighborhoods safe.
Prince William County residents can click
https://download.ring.com/princewilliam,
text "PWC" to 555888, or download the Neighbors app for free on iOS and Android. Once the app is downloaded, residents can opt-in to their digital neighborhood and use the app to: monitor neighborhood activity; share crime and safety-related videos, photos and text-based posts; and receive regional safety alerts. Police can only view content publicly posted by users to the app or those shared directly in response to a specific request from law enforcement. Tips shared are anonymous unless residents choose to identify themselves.
This app is not meant to replace 911 or traditional reporting. If residents have an emergency, they are continued to ask to call 911. If a report needs to be filed, residents can call the non-emergency number at 703-792-6500.
