Raleigh County residents can dump one pickup load of household trash free once a month, on the last working Thursday, during regular hours.

The authority closes the landfill on New Year's Day, Memorial Day, July 4, Labor Day, Thanksgiving and Christmas.
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.
