Refuse Department pickup for large items

Accepted with preparation

The city's knowledge base answer to what bulk items the city picks up names four groups: furniture, appliances, televisions and tires, all collected by the Refuse Department. That single sentence is the whole published bulky route for Charleston.

City cost & eligibility
No charge. The city lists furniture, appliances, televisions and tires as items the Refuse Department picks up and publishes no bulky item fee, so the draft does not assert one. Confirm the arrangement with the department before set-out.
When & how
Through the Refuse Department on its own arrangement rather than a published bulky day, which the city does not print.
Get it ready
Keep the items out of the recycling container and separate from bagged household garbage, and contact the department to arrange the pickup because the city publishes no appointment rule, item limit or fee. Anything outside the four named groups should be confirmed before it is set out.

Scrap metal and metals

Special rules apply

The city's bulk answer does not name scrap metal, so the county directory is the published route for it. That directory lists the metals business River Metals Recycling at 2715 Sissonville Road, Charleston, WV 25312, with its phone number, alongside the authority's own drop-off at 600 Slack Street. It prints no scrap metal price, so scrap metal stays an unconfirmed city item.

City cost & eligibility
The county directory prints a street address and a phone number for each location it lists, including the metals business River Metals Recycling on Sissonville Road, but it prints no scrap metal price, so confirm the material and any charge with that business and with the Kanawha County Solid Waste Authority before the load is built.
When & how
Confirm the item first, then use the county recycling directory or the metals business it lists rather than a city collection.
Get it ready
Keep scrap out of the recycling container and out of the trash bag, call the Kanawha County Solid Waste Authority to confirm the location and the material before loading, and ask the Refuse Department whether a metal appliance qualifies as an appliance under its pickup list.

Right item.
Right place.

Call for furniture, appliances, televisions and tires

The city's published bulky route is a sentence rather than a schedule: the Refuse Department picks up furniture, appliances, televisions and tires. No fee, item limit or appointment rule is printed, so contact the department to arrange the collection and confirm anything outside those four groups before it goes to the curb.

City of Charleston Public Works and Refuse Department, with the Kanawha County Solid Waste Authority

Ask the Refuse Department for a bulky pickup

A city household with furniture, an appliance, a television or a tire to dispose of.

Cost & conditions
No charge. The city names those four groups as items the Refuse Department picks up and publishes no bulky fee, so the acceptance is stated without a price.
Arrange it
Contact the Refuse Department, describe the items and arrange the collection, then set them out as directed rather than on a fixed bulky day.

Only the four published groups, no printed item limit or fee, and anything else has to be confirmed first or routed through the county recycling directory.

Charleston bulk item answer

City of Charleston Public Works and Refuse Department, with the Kanawha County Solid Waste Authority

Use the Kanawha County recycling directory

A household with scrap metal, additional recyclables or material the city route does not take.

Cost & conditions
The county directory prints a street address and a phone number for each location it lists, from the authority's own Charleston facility on Slack Street to West Virginia Cashin Recyclables in Nitro, the metals business and the retail drop-offs, but it publishes no fees, so confirm the location, the material and any charge with the authority before a trip.
Arrange it
Search the county directory for the material and the nearest location, then call the authority to confirm the drop-off before loading.

The authority states that recycling options change constantly and that residents should confirm before travelling, and the directory mixes free drop-offs with retail counters.

Kanawha County recycling locations

Taking it somewhere yourself?

Self-hauling in Charleston runs through the city first and the county second. The city Refuse Department picks up furniture, appliances, televisions and tires, and the same weekly trash day carries the recycling, with cardboard, mixed paper, aluminium and steel cans and plastics numbered one and two accepted while glass and the higher numbered plastics are refused. Leaves are bagged for the trash day or raked to the street edge for the supplemental loose leaf collection that starts in early November. For anything outside those routes, the Kanawha County Solid Waste Authority keeps a directory of drop-off locations, naming its own Charleston facility and West Virginia Cashin Recyclables in Nitro for common recyclables and a metals business for metal, and the authority warns that the options change often, so a call before loading is the practical step.

Before you book

A few things
worth knowing.

Scrap metal removal, from your photo request to the pickup plan in Charleston.

How do I request a scrap metal pickup quote?

Text photos to (844) 879-0892 with your ZIP code, approximate amount and access details. Show the whole pile and a closer view of the material. Our team will confirm the scope, quote and scheduling.

Do you buy scrap metal or pick it up for free?

This is a request for a paid removal quote, not a scrap-buying or free-collection offer. If you want to sell metal, ask a local recycler about its accepted materials and delivery requirements.

How much does scrap metal removal cost?

This service uses a custom quote. Send photos, the approximate amount, your ZIP code and access details. Our team confirms the scope and price before booking; there is no fixed-price catalog item for this pile.

Can you collect it today?

Tell our team your preferred day when you request the quote. Timing depends on the material, amount and access, and is confirmed with your quote. Sending photos does not reserve same-day pickup.

What bulk items does Charleston pick up?

The city's own answer is short: the Refuse Department picks up furniture, appliances, televisions and tires. No fee, appointment rule or item limit is published alongside it, so contact the department to arrange the collection, and confirm anything outside those four groups before setting it out.Official guidance

Where does scrap metal go in Charleston?

The city's bulk answer covers furniture, appliances, televisions and tires rather than scrap metal, so the county route matters. The Kanawha County recycling directory lists a metals business and general recyclables drop-off points, and the authority warns that options change, so call and confirm the location and the material before loading a metal load.Official guidance

What will the City of Charleston pick up?

The city's own bulk answer names furniture, appliances, televisions and tires for the Refuse Department, and the weekly refuse route carries bagged household garbage with recyclables on the same day. Leaves go out bagged on the trash day or raked to the street edge for the supplemental collection, and anything else, scrap metal above all, goes through the Kanawha County recycling directory.Official guidance

Where do I take something the city will not collect?

The Kanawha County Solid Waste Authority keeps a directory of recycling and drop-off locations, naming its own Charleston facility and West Virginia Cashin Recyclables in Nitro for commonly recycled material and a metals business for metal. The authority warns that options change constantly, so call before loading and confirm the material and the location.Official guidance
