Sustainability

Don’t Chuck That Shuck!

Help restore the Chesapeake Bay! The McIntire Recycling Center is a designated collection site for oyster shells in our community.

Whether from homes or restaurants, collected shells are seeded with spat and returned to the Bay through the Virginia Oyster Shell Recycling Program at VCU’s Rice Rivers Center. Together, we can support oyster habitat restoration and protect this vital ecosystem.
