Waste Management - Jefferson County Transfer Station

Small county transfer station in Kearneysville used by local residents dropping off household and yard debris. It’s the place to bring loads that are easier to hand off here than driving to a distant landfill. The site mainly compacts material and sends it out on larger trucks.

Drive up a short access road to a booth where attendants will direct traffic; it looks like a working, no-frills municipal yard rather than a polished commercial facility. There’s a concrete tipping area and large containers or compactors set into the yard, with trucks coming and going when loads are moved out. Pull up to the scale or booth as instructed, then back into the tipping area for unloading before exiting past the scale again. Weekends and spring cleanup times can get busy, and weather can make the approach slick or slow in winter.
