Solid Waste Facility
Monongalia County Solid Waste Authority
3788 Industrial Park Rd, Morgantown, WV 26501
(304) 292-3801Small county solid waste facility serving Morgantown and surrounding areas in the valley. Local residents and small haulers bring household trash, recycling and yard debris here; the site sits on Industrial Park Road near other light-industry businesses.
A single entrance with an attendant booth and a scale is visible from the road; vehicles typically pull up to the booth first and then proceed to dumping areas. The site is open-air with large roll-off containers and piles of yard material or compacted trash, so expect noise and tractor-trailer activity. Weather can make the access road slick or slow, and lines build up on weekends and during spring cleanup times.

Before You Go
- Cover and secure loose material so nothing blows out on the drive; wind is common in valley gaps.
- Bring gloves and sturdy shoes-the ground can be uneven and muddy after rain.
- Plan for possible wait times on weekends or during seasonal cleanups; midweek visits are often quicker.
