Curbside Recycling
Leave plastics, glass, cans and paper in your curbside receptacle for weekly collection.
The new Wood County Solid Waste Director would like to remind the community of the Borrow a Bin Program. 40 recycle bins and 40 trash bins are available along with trash bags for collection and they may contact me at DirectorWCSWA@outlook or 304-580-6991 to schedule the trailer to be dropped off at their event. The user is in charge of loading and placing receptacles, as well as pickup of actual trash and recycling products.
