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.
Paint Disposal
Join us on August 31, 2024, from 8 AM to noon for our Free Paint Disposal and Collection Event, meticulously organized by the Wood County Solid Waste Authority. This special event will take place at the 38 Robinhood Rd in Belleville, WV offering community members a fantastic opportunity to dispose of any leftover paint and related products safely and free of charge. We will also be collecting slightly used clothes, books for recycling, unopened medical supplies and slightly used medical equipment to be redistributed to those that may not be able to afford them. NO TIRE OR PRESCRIPTION DRUGS WILL BE COLLECTED AT THIS EVENT! Embracing the spirit of our slogan, “Let’s Make Our Community a Cleaner Place,” we aim to foster environmental stewardship, minimize pollution, and safeguard our beautiful surroundings. Don’t miss out on this chance to contribute to a more sustainable and cleaner community in partnership with the Wood County Solid Waste Authority.
