Solid Waste Facility

Putnam County Solid Waste Auth

3240 Winfield Rd, Winfield, WV 25213

(304) 586-0495

A county solid waste drop-off in Winfield for people from nearby hollows and towns. Locals use it for household trash and the usual clean-up stuff, and it’s the sort of place farmers and folks doing yard work will stop by regularly. The mountain roads around here mean it mainly serves the immediate valley rather than long-haul traffic.

The site looks like a working yard more than a polished public building - piles, roll-off containers, and a gravel drive are common at places like this. There’s often a single entry lane where vehicles line up; during busy times expect a slow-moving queue. Recycling and yard debris areas are typically off to one side, with household trash drop-off toward the back or a separate container. Weather matters: mud or icy patches on the access road can make pulling a trailer tricky.

Before You Go

  • Bring items already separated and ready to unload so a single stop at the drop point gets it done faster.
  • Avoid weekend mornings and spring-cleanup weekends if possible; lines build up quickly then.
  • Dress for a working yard - sturdy shoes and gloves - and secure loose items on trailers before driving the mountain roads in.
