Pocahontas County Solid Waste
900 10th Ave C, Marlinton, WV 24954
(304) 799-6262Pocahontas County Solid Waste in Marlinton is where locals bring household trash, yard debris and the odd cleanup load. It sits on 10th Ave C and feels like a working county lot more than a tidy recycling center. People from town and the surrounding hollows use it for routine drop-offs.
The site has a simple, practical layout-expect a driveway with a small office or booth near the entrance and piles or containers farther in. Vehicles often pause to sort or be directed, so it moves in short spurts rather than a constant flow. You’ll see separate places for brush, recyclables and regular trash, and the surface can get muddy after rain or dusty in the dry months. Pay attention to traffic patterns inside the lot so larger trucks can get through.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Sort brush, recyclables and household trash at home before you go so unloading is quicker and less awkward.
- Bring gloves, sturdy shoes and a tarp-loose branches and bags tend to blow around and the ground can be rough.
- Avoid weekend mornings during spring cleanup if possible; lines and waits are noticeably longer then.
