Marion County Solid Waste Authority in Worthington (addressed at 1532 Helens Run Rd, Farmington, WV 26571) is the local spot folks from nearby valleys use for general household trash, recycling drop-offs, and yard debris. It’s the kind of place people from surrounding hollows go to when regular pickups won’t do.

Expect a single entrance with an attendant booth and a scale nearby; plan to slow down and follow the attendants’ directions when pulling up. The site is open-air with rows of containers and a few piles for different materials, and the ground can get muddy after rain. Weekends and spring cleanup times often mean a line of trucks and trailers, so allow extra time. Snow or heavy rain in the mountains can make the access road slow or slick-drive cautiously.

Before You Go

  • Bring a tarp or straps for loose loads so nothing falls out when hauling on the county roads.
  • Unload larger items next to the obvious pile or container; if unsure where something goes, follow what other vehicles are doing rather than guessing.
  • Avoid peak times like Saturday mornings if a quicker visit is preferred, and be prepared for uneven, gravel surfaces at the drop-off points.
