Charleston disposal programs
Items that share the same official city or county source are grouped here. Alias items open this program section; core guides stay on their own page.
Bulky pickup in Charleston
Mattresses, furniture, and many appliances — city bulk or drop-off, not the regular cart.
Official source:
Charleston mattresss self-haul to the transfer station at 741 South Park Road, which handles municipal solid waste at posted tipping fees. There is no free citywide bulky day. Keep chemicals out of the load — the transfer station is not an HHW site.
Household hazardous waste — used oil, paint, propane, batteries, and chemicals.
Official source:
There is no permanent household hazardous waste facility serving Charleston. West Virginia DEP and local partners run periodic HHW collection events, so motor oil has to wait for a published date. The KCSWA recycling center at 600 Slack Street takes recyclables — it is not a chemical HHW site. Store material sealed in original containers and never pour chemicals down a drain.
TVs, computers, and electronics. Usually banned from trash and the blue bin.
Official source:
Charleston e waste mixed should not go in the trash cart. The Kanawha County Solid Waste Authority publishes electronics collection opportunities — confirm the current schedule on kanawharecycles.org before hauling, and wipe personal data first.
Construction debris, concrete, and remodel waste — transfer station or roll-off.
Official source:
Construction debris is not a city collection item. Hire a C&D hauler or use an area transfer site at posted fees. Hold paint for an announced HHW collection event.
Cart recycling, store film take-back, and foam rules — not a second bulky program.
Official source:
Charleston recycling carts do not want expanded polystyrene (EPS). White block foam, packing peanuts, and food trays are different streams. Grocery film/bag bins are not a foam drop-off. Kanawha County Solid Waste Authority — Recycle Smart is the official Charleston program we verified — if that page only mentions plastic bags or film, treat block foam and food trays as bagged garbage unless it names a foam densifier. Clean peanuts may be reused at a shipper; starch peanuts are not EPS.
