Return to Normal Recycling Service Post COVID-19 Restrictions May 27, 2020  

 As Phase 2 protocols are being implemented and activities are resuming, the Town of Hope Mills, in conjunction with Waste Management, will resume the recycling program effective Wednesday, June 17, 2020.   

 First, we would like to thank all residents of Hope Mills for their patience and understanding during this time of pandemic and uncertainty.  We have worked closely with our partners and staff to arrange the continuation of essential services while concurrently ensuring that our team members were as safe and healthy as possible.  Our success was a direct result of all parties working together toward the common goal. 

 With the easing of restrictions and residents returning to work and assuming other activities, the quantities of household trash generated will return to pre-COVID-19 levels and our residents will be able to resume recycling.  This scheduling will provide our residents the opportunity to transition back to the recycling program and allow adequate time to empty recycling containers of trash and limit the risk of the recycling center rejecting loads due to contamination of trash with recyclables. 

 We look forward to resuming recycling collections and will continue to assess other activities that have been temporarily discontinued as further guidance is issued by our governing bodies.
