Transfer Station
Mountaineer Transfer Station
2130 Rail Street, Westover, WV 26501
Mountaineer Transfer Station in Westover is the local spot where neighborhood loads get compacted and sent off to a landfill farther away. Folks from the surrounding valleys use it when a quick trip to a landfill would be too far given the mountain roads and weather.
The site is a modest transfer station with an entrance booth and a place to pull up for check-in. There’s usually a scale and a row of large compactors and transfer trailers tucked behind the working area, with trucks coming and going. Expect a mix of cars, small trailers and pickup trucks; lines build up fast on weekends and during spring cleanups. The ground can be gravel or concrete and looks like a working lot - no frills, just big metal containers and machinery.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Secure tarps and tie downs on open loads - wind and steep roads in this part of West Virginia will loosen things quickly.
- Plan for weekend congestion; arriving earlier in the day tends to shave off wait time.
- Sort bulky items in the bed or trunk before pulling up so unloading goes faster and less time is spent walking back and forth.
