Thanks to Mr. Hall and everyone working to make recycling with CVWMA easy and convenient in Hanover County!

Waste & Recycling Workers Week

June 15-21 is Waste and Recycling Workers Week, and County employees like Dale Hall serve a crucial role in ensuring safe waste disposal across the County.

As a solid waste operator at Courthouse Convenience Center, Hall educates the public on the County’s recycling and waste disposal rules. Hall explained his role as a “liaison” between Hanover residents and these rules.

“A lot of people come in here, they'll read the rules, but they don't understand a lot of the rules,” Hall said. “We're here to kind of keep that happy medium.”

To learn more about Hall’s work and the importance of recycling and proper waste disposal, visit bit.ly/4vPC9VX.

CVWMA collections will operate on a regular schedule Friday, June 19. To view a list of holidays that impact CVWMA schedules, visit www.cvwma.com/holidays.
