Waste Management - Charleston Landfill

Charleston Landfill is the county landfill just off S Park Road that handles household and commercial trash for the Charleston area. Local haulers and residents drop off everything meant to be buried rather than recycled. Because West Virginia is hilly, this spot mostly serves the nearby valleys rather than long-distance hauls.

There's a small entrance booth and a scale wheel that trucks use - loads are weighed and charged by weight, with usual minimums for small residential loads. Pull up to the booth, get directed (or sign in) and then follow the paved drive toward the working face and tipping areas. The site is big and open, with dirt access roads and large compacted cells; heavy trucks are common and the ground can be dusty or muddy after rain. Weekends and spring cleanup days are noticeably busier, and weather can slow access on the mountain roads leading into Charleston.
