County Convenience Center Operating Hours to Change Starting October 24, 2015

The operating hours of all Beaufort County Convenience Centers will expand from 7:30 a.m. to 7:00 p.m., starting October 24, 2015. The Convenience Centers currently operate from 9:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. According to Joshua Gruber, Beaufort County Deputy Administrator, “This expansion in hours is possible because the County has been able to closely monitor its expenditures and identify areas of cost differential which favor the County. Reinvesting these amounts within the solid waste and recycling program will enable an expanded level of service to help satisfy consumer requests.”
