Dear fellow Hanoverians:<\/p>\n
The Town of Hanover is really doing a great job of updating the public with
\nCOVID-19 updates. But, in this age of information overload, it’s hard to
\nknow what to watch or read and what can wait. What should you subscribe
\nto, what can be ignored? The information flow is tremendous, and
\nsometimes overwhelming. As one of our public officials said to me the
\nother day, it’s like trying to take a sip of water from a fire hose!<\/p>\n
That being said, in case you missed this, I thought I would re-send,
\nbecause it will affect all of us on Friday (tomorrow as I write this).
\nThanks to Victor, Ken, Gardner and the whole crew at the transfer station
\nfor keeping this essential service available to all of us.<\/p>\n
Temporary Transfer Station Operational Changes
\nEffective April 3, 2020
\nAs a measure to prevent and mitigate the spread of potential COVID-19
\nexposure and in the interest of the health and well-being of our employees
\nand residents of the Town of Hanover, the Town will be temporarily
\nadjusting some operational procedures at the Transfer Station. These
\nadjustments are being made in an effort to enhance social distancing
\npractices at the Transfer Station.<\/p>\n
Effective April 3, 2020, the recycling of paper, cardboard, plastic, glass,
\nand cans will be temporarily suspended. The traditional recycling areas
\nfor these items will be closed off and residents are asked to dispose of
\nthese items in the main pit at the Transfer Station. <\/p>\n
The process for recycling\/disposal of fee-based items (furniture,
\nmattresses, air conditioners, refrigerators, tires, etc.) will remain
\nlargely unchanged at this time. The Transfer Station office will be closed
\nto the public, but a service table has been set up outside the office to
\nallow residents to declare disposal of these types of items or ask any
\nquestions. Once declared, residents will be fully responsible to unload
\nand neatly place these fee-based items in areas designated by Transfer
\nStation Staff. To speed up the processing of these items, and to limit
\nperson-to-person interactions, collection of fees for these items have been
\ntemporarily suspended.<\/p>\n
Construction and Demolition (C&D) Materials and scrap metal
\ndisposal\/recycling will continue at this time. Residents wishing to
\ndispose of C&D Materials must weigh-in using the scale, unload\/dispose of
\ntheir materials, weigh-out using the scale, and then report to the
\ninformation\/service table outside of the Transfer Station office for
\npayment.<\/p>\n
Until further notice the Swap Shop will remain closed. Please do not leave
\nitems outside of the shop or on the ground near the Goodwill\/Salvation Army
\ndonation boxes.In order to accommodate these temporary changes, traffic
\npatterns at Transfer Station will be temporarily reorganized in hopes of
\nstreamlining traffic flow and allowing for enhanced social distancing
\npractices. It is recommended that you familiarize yourself with the new
\ntemporary traffic patterns plan prior to your next visit to the Transfer
\nStation. Go to:

\nfor more information.<\/p>\n
DPW Staff will maintain six to ten feet of separation from other
\nindividuals and all users of the Transfer Station are strongly urged to
\nfollow similar distancing guidelines. Traffic patterns may be adjusted to
\nensure proper separation of vehicles and individuals at the pit. Residents
\nmay experience some delays.<\/p>\n
Due to the fluidity of the overall COVID-19 crisis, this plan is subject to
\nchange. Please be sure to check the Town website regularly for updated
\nnews and information. We ask you to drive safely within the Transfer
\nStation and thank you for your understanding and cooperation with staff
\nand\/or volunteers as we work through this serious situation.<\/p>\n
