Hours, holidays and rules

The station closes New Year's Day, Memorial Day, July 4, Labor Day, Thanksgiving and Christmas, and early on Christmas Eve and New Year's Eve. It isn't a government office, so it stays open on other federal and state holidays, but it can close for snow, ice or storms when the trucks can't run. Being in line at 4 p.m. doesn't guarantee service; you need to be across the scale and unloading.

Single-stream recycling takes paper, cardboard, plastic containers and metal cans together, plus any scrap metal: grills, water heaters, washers and dryers. Curbside trash and recycling are handled by private haulers.

West Virginia law bans car batteries, tires and yard waste from landfills, and requires every landfill to give residents a free day each month for one pickup load of household trash. TVs and computers can't be landfilled wherever the county solid waste authority has a cost-effective way to recycle them.
