Waste Haulers Deemed “Essential” During COVID-19 WV Order

Posted March 23rd, 2020

Envirco Inc will continue providing services. Waste haulers have been deemed “essential” by the Department of Homeland Security and Governor Justice. The following was provided to us by our waste haulers association.

Governor Jim Justice has announced the signing of an executive order requiring residents to stay at home and non-essential businesses to close as of 8 pm on Tuesday, March 24th, 2020.

The order signed by Governor Justice referenced both a federal Department of Homeland Security guidance that included waste haulers as critical infrastructure and state specific definitions that included solid waste services as essential businesses in multiple sections.
