After not having recycling services last week, residents in the R.M. of Hanover can expect to see Eastman Recycling trucks back at work this week.

Darryl Marsh, Director of Services for enVision Community Living, which operates Eastman Recycling, says the service was suspended last week for the municipality due to a staffing shortage.

“The reason for the staff shortage and subsequent delay of the pick-up is related to COVID protocols with our staffing,” he explains.

The R.M. of Hanover was the only area impacted by the staffing shortage, and Marsh expects service to return to normal this week.
