Goochland Central Convenience Center Reopens After Brief Equipment Malfunction
The Central Convenience Center on Hidden Rock Lane in Maidens closed and reopened within a single day on March 18 after an equipment malfunction disrupted service.
The Central Convenience Center at 1908 Hidden Rock Lane in Maidens was back accepting waste the afternoon of March 18 after an equipment malfunction forced it to close earlier that day, Goochland County announced.
The county had posted a newsflash on its website stating the facility "will be closed until further notice due to an equipment malfunction" and directing residents to drive instead to the Western Convenience Center at 3455 Hadensville-Fife Road in Goochland. The closure lasted only hours before the county announced the site had reopened.
The county did not specify which piece of equipment failed, what repairs were performed, or who carried out the work. The exact time the closure notice was posted and the precise hour the facility reopened that afternoon were also not disclosed in the county's announcement.
Residents with questions about either convenience center can contact Goochland County at 804-556-5800. County administrative offices at 1800 Sandy Hook Road are open Monday through Friday, 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m., except holidays.
