Construction to improve the Orange County Solid Waste Convenience Center at Walnut Grove Church Road and N.C. 86 will begin Sept. 21.
The construction is anticipated to last four to six months and will temporarily reduce services at the center to disposal of bagged household garbage and recycling of motor oil, antifreeze and batteries only.
The planned improvements for the Walnut Grove Convenience Center include paved surfaces, compactors for bagged household waste, a hazardous household-waste collection center, food-waste recovery bins and a cardboard compactor.
