Landfill
Sycamore Landfill
Sycamore Landfill, 4301 Sycamore Ridge Road, Hurricane, 25526, West Virginia
Sycamore Landfill on Sycamore Ridge Road is the landfill in Hurricane where household and larger loads get buried. Locals and hauling trucks bring anything that won't go to the recycling or transfer options - this is the final place for that material.
The site is large and open, with dirt roads, heavy equipment, and obvious landfill mounds. Many landfills have an entrance booth and a weigh scale, and tipping fees are commonly charged by weight, so expect to stop at the scale. Drive into the entrance/scale area and follow the flow of trucks; commercial loads are commonly accepted at landfills of this type and often fall under different fee tiers than typical residential drops. Weekends and spring cleanup times usually mean backups, so plan extra time if heading over then.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Secure and tarp loose loads before leaving home - it keeps things from blowing out and makes check-in quicker.
- Sort big items as much as possible (brush, furniture, heavy stuff) so unloading is faster and things don't need shuffling around.
- Bring gloves, a shovel and sturdy shoes; weather can make surfaces dusty or muddy and hands-on unloading is common.
