News Talk 94.1/AM 1600 Where The Upper Cumberland Talks
Van Buren’s Spencer Convenience Center will have new hours starting Monday, February 14th.
Van Buren County Mayor Greg Wilson said that they’ve now added Thursday hours, and have extended the daily hours to 5 p.m. He said that after a hauler for the site retired, there was a need to provide more time for drop-offs.
“Teh reason for the 5:00, of course, the days are getting a little longer so we got a little bit more sunlight,” Wilson said. “And that may allow the people who get off at 4:00, 3:30, and they just don’t have time to get home and get their trash and bring it back to the convenience center, or it’s just not convenient time-wise, we decided to go ahead and add those hours.”
Wilson said that there will be no changes in drop-off procedures. He said that the updated hours apply only to the Spencer site, and are not county-wide.
