Shelter, recycling center have new hours
The Anderson County Animal Shelter has new hours. The shelter, located at 1480 Blockhouse Valley Road in South Clinton, is now open to the public six days a week.
The new public hours are 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Friday, and 8 a.m. to noon on Saturdays.
“We are appreciative of County Commission’s support of additional staff for our Solid Waste Department so that we can open our recycling center six days a week. As the shelter and recycling center are co-located on the same property, we are now able to also open the shelter six days a week,” Anderson County Mayor Terry Frank said.
