No county bulk-item route serves unincorporated Kanawha County. Arrange large-item pickup through your hauler or haul to the WM transfer station and landfill. Illegal dumping in the county's rural hollows is a real problem and is unlawful under state open-dump law.
Because the unincorporated county runs no collection, there is no county bulk pickup. To get rid of furniture, mattresses or appliances, schedule an extra pickup with your private hauler, often for a fee, or self-haul to the WM transfer station and landfill on South Park Road. The Public Service Commission's approval of that transfer station guarantees a free drop-off day for non-commercial customers once a month. What the state polices hard is illegal open dumping — a persistent issue in Kanawha's steep rural hollows. WV Code §22-15-10 flatly prohibits open dumps, and WV DEP and county litter-control officers pursue offenders.
Illegal open dumping is unlawful under WV Code §22-15-10 and carries litter penalties under §22-15A-4 — fines that escalate with the volume dumped, plus cleanup costs and possible court-ordered community service.
