Transfer Station
Waste Management - Southern West Virginia Hauling and Transfer Station
231 Mill Creek Rd, Pecks Mill, WV 25547
(304) 343-6987Small transfer station used by local residents and haulers from the Pecks Mill area. Located on Mill Creek Road, it handles loads brought in to be compacted and shipped off to a landfill elsewhere. Folks from nearby hollows use it when a trip to a distant landfill isn’t practical.
A modest facility with an entrance booth and a drive-in area for dropping loads; trucks pull up to the booth and then proceed to the tipping area. The site looks industrial - concrete pads, compacting equipment, and larger transfer trailers parked for loading. Traffic can stack up on weekends or during spring cleanup, so there may be a short wait before getting to the tip floor.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Secure and cover loose loads before leaving home - wind on the mountain roads will scatter debris if things aren’t tied down.
- Keep materials sorted in the vehicle so unloading goes faster; that saves time in the line and on the tipping pad.
- Plan for weather and road conditions in this part of West Virginia; rain or snow can make access slower and slick, especially on back roads to the site.
