Residents asked to use centers only for essential needs

Hanover County is asking for the support of all citizens that use the solid waste convenience centers. Residents should only use the centers to dispose of waste for essential needs. Extremely high usage from home cleaning projects and other activities are causing supply chain problems and could result in shutdowns because of the heavy volume.
