Jefferson County Solid in Kearneysville is the local place people use to drop off household and business refuse. Located on Edmond Road, it handles the routine trash and cleanup loads from this part of Jefferson County. Many locals swing by here when clearing out basements or after yard work.
Expect a modest, working site rather than a neat customer center; there’s typically a small entrance booth and a scale where vehicles pause before and after unloading. Pull up slowly - traffic flows from the entrance toward the disposal areas and there can be dump trucks and trailers moving about. The ground can be gravel or packed dirt, so on wet or cold days it gets slick and messy. Lines form on weekends and during spring cleanup, so plan for some wait time.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Cover and secure loose loads with a tarp or straps; wind and passing trucks can make unsecured stuff fly out.
- Watch the surface when driving in-mud, potholes, and frozen ruts show up depending on recent weather.
- Bring gloves, sturdy footwear, and a pry bar or shovel for handling bulky or awkward items safely.
