August 9, 2020
Attention,
At WCA, our highest priority during the COVID pandemic continues to be the health and well-being of our customers and staff. In recent days, several of our residential drivers from our South Houston Hauling Division have been impacted by the COVID-19 virus. In accordance with recommended CDC guidelines, the helpers and other drivers who have been in close contact with these drivers are being quarantined.
Area Affected
Our South Houston Hauling Division, which provides waste collection services South of 290, up through downtown, and as far south as Missouri City, Texas, has been impacted by these health precautions. In addition, our Bay City Hauling Division has also been impacted, which handles the City of Bay City, Wharton, Eagle Lake and Kendleton. All other Divisions of WCA/VF Waste Services will continue to operate business as usual. If your community resides in our South Houston or Bay City Hauling Division’s geographical boundary, it is possible your regular collection services will be temporarily affected. We are confident our collection crews will be back to full staffing shortly and any service disruption will be minimal.

Please take care and be safe.
