Virginia Beach City Public Schools has been awarded the 2007 Virginia Recycling Association Award for Excellence in the Government/Nonprofit category. Awarded by the Virginia Recycling Associations (VRA), the school division is nominated by Tidewater Fiber Corp (TFC Recycling) for its commitment to recycling and innovative and quality recycling programs. Recycling an average of 123 tons of material per month, the school division’s expanded recycling program catapulted into full force in September of 2006. Each of the school’s 4,500 classrooms is equipped with a recycling bin used for disposal of paper products, aluminum and steel, plastics and glass. These bins are collected daily by 719 custodians working morning, afternoon and evening hours in the school division’s 87 schools and office buildings. http://www.recyclingtoday.com/news/news.asp?ID=11310

Many people think that they can simply replace the catalytic converter and pass the Virginia emissions inspection. If the problem is the catalytic converter, of course this would be the right solution. But, in many cases, a new catalytic converter will simply "mask" an underlying problem with the air/fuel ratio, ignition system, or some other problem with the engine. A catalytic converter should only be replaced if it is operating inefficiently or not at all. There are tests that can be performed on a catalytic converter to determine whether or not it needs to be replaced.
An air/fuel mixture that is overly rich (too much fuel, not enough air), can destroy a catalytic converter over time, as can any lead in the fuel. This can create extremely high temperatures in the catalyst and can ultimately damage and destroy the honeycomb or pellets inside the catalyst. In extreme cases, the outside shell of the catalyst actually glows orange or red from the extreme heat inside, and the contents of the catalytic converter can actually melt and clog the exhaust system creating an undriveable vehicle. http://www.deq.virginia.gov/mobile/mobcomp.html#cc
