City of Andover issued the following announcement on April 2
The National Waste & Recycling Association has long been committed to ensuring that our workers are kept safe. This is especially important now during this COVID-19 crisis. Waste and recycling collection are an essential part of the infrastructure that protects public health and the environment. To accomplish this, waste collectors collect material from the entire community. To keep them safe we encourage limiting their contact with the public and with the waste and recycling materials.
