West Virginia Code Chapter 22 Article 15A Section 18 establishes statewide recycling goals and authorizes the Recycling Assistance Program, with mandatory municipal recycling for cities over ten thousand population applied uniformly under state law.
West Virginia Code Section 22-15A-18 establishes a statewide recycling program administered by the Department of Environmental Protection. Municipalities with populations of ten thousand or more must establish source-separation recycling programs collecting at least three materials. The state imposes a recycling assessment fee on solid waste tipping under Code Section 22-15A-9 to fund grants. The Solid Waste Management Board reviews county and regional recycling plans. Mandatory program rules apply uniformly to qualifying jurisdictions regardless of local choice.
Municipal noncompliance may result in loss of state recycling grant eligibility and Solid Waste Management Board enforcement actions; illegal disposal of recyclables is subject to littering penalties.
