The local disposal guide
Will the city take it?
Huntington collects household garbage at the curb Monday through Friday on seven daily routes run by the City's Sanitation and Trash Division. On top of that, the City allows one free bulky pickup each month as long as the load fits in an eight-foot pickup truck, and larger loads move to a special pickup that the City assesses and prices before it collects. Yard waste rides along with the weekly garbage as long as it is bagged. Curbside recycling is separate and voluntary, sold as a subscription through Rumpke.
Appliances without Freon can go out with the bulky pickup, while appliances containing refrigerant are not collected unless the compressor has been removed.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. City of Huntington residential addresses for appliances that do not contain Freon, within the monthly bulky pickup.
When & how
Request the monthly bulky pickup at 304.696.5540 option 1 or through the 311 app. Refrigerant units need the compressor removed first.
Get it ready
Remove the compressor from refrigerators, air conditioners and freezers before setting them out, and keep refrigerant appliances off the curb until that is done.
Bagged yard waste goes out with the weekly garbage up to four bags, brush must be bundled to size limits, and larger quantities need a special pickup.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. City of Huntington residential addresses, up to four bags of yard waste with the weekly household garbage.
When & how
Set bagged yard waste out with your regular garbage day, and arrange a special pickup through Public Works when you have more than four bags.
Get it ready
Bag leaves and grass clippings rather than raking them to the curb, and tie brush or limbs in bundles no longer than 48 inches and no wider than 18 inches in diameter, weighing no more than 75 pounds.
Cardboard boxes are accepted in the voluntary Huntington Recycles curbside program run through Rumpke.
City cost & eligibility
From $11.61 for published monthly subscription rate effective April 1, 2026, plus a one-time charge for the 95-gallon container, with a credit applied to the quarterly refuse fee bill. City of Huntington residents whose household garbage is serviced by the City, including renters in buildings with four or fewer units.
When & how
Rumpke collects the recycling container every two weeks, separately from the City's weekly garbage service, which continues unchanged.
Get it ready
Put all accepted recyclable material in the container unbagged, because the program is single stream and does not require sorting.
Tires are on the list of items the City of Huntington will not collect, and they are regulated by the DEP and EPA.
City cost & eligibility
The City does not collect tires at the curb or through the bulky pickup. Its collection pages list tires among the items regulated by the DEP and EPA and give 304.926.0495 for disposal guidance.
When & how
There is no City tire collection. Call the DEP and EPA numbers the City publishes at 304.926.0495, or ask Public Works at 304.696.5540 option 1 for the route currently in use.
Get it ready
Keep tires off the curb, because they will not be picked up with garbage, bulky trash or yard waste.
Huntington's collection pages do not name electronics among the accepted bulky items or among the prohibited items, so the route has to be confirmed with Public Works.
City cost & eligibility
The City's waste pages list neither electronics nor electronic waste. Call Public Works at 304.696.5540 option 1 to confirm whether a television or computer can be included in a bulky or special pickup and what, if anything, it costs.
When & how
Confirm with Public Works before setting electronics out, because the City's accepted and prohibited lists do not cover them either way.
Get it ready
Keep electronics off the curb until Public Works confirms the pickup, and do not place them with bagged household garbage.
Aluminum cans and steel food cans are accepted in the curbside recycling program, while larger scrap metal is not named in the City's lists.
City cost & eligibility
Metal cans are covered by the Rumpke recycling subscription. For larger scrap metal the City lists neither acceptance nor prohibition, so call Public Works at 304.696.5540 option 1 to confirm the route and any charge.
When & how
Put aluminum and steel cans in the Huntington Recycles container, which Rumpke collects every two weeks. Confirm anything larger with Public Works first.
Get it ready
Keep cans unbagged in the recycling container, and hold larger metal items until Public Works confirms how they should be set out.
Weekly household garbage should not be set out for collection before 6 p.m. the night before the scheduled pickup day, which keeps animals and wind from knocking the material over.
Brush and limbs go out tied in bundles no longer than 48 inches and no wider than 18 inches in diameter, weighing no more than 75 pounds. Leaves and grass clippings are collected only when they are bagged, and the City prohibits blowing or sweeping yard waste into the street.
Refrigerant appliances need the compressor removed
Refrigerators, air conditioners and freezers are not collected while they still contain refrigerant. Remove the compressor first, or keep the unit off the curb and follow the DEP and EPA guidance the City publishes at 304.926.0495.
Use a permitted, accessible outdoor spot. Arrange the move out of your home, keep shared access clear and follow your confirmation’s readiness instructions. Check with your building about access or staging limits before booking.
Households with furniture, mattresses, non-refrigerant appliances or bagged yard waste that will not fit the weekly garbage pickup.
Cost & conditions

Tires, car batteries, motor oil and other petroleum products, liquid paint, appliances that still contain refrigerant, fuel and gas tanks unless cut in half and cleaned, needles and syringes, animal carcasses and other biohazardous material are not collected.
Households with a load larger than an eight-foot truck bed, or more than the four bags of yard waste allowed with weekly garbage.
Cost & conditions
The City assesses the size of the order and contacts the resident with the price of the pickup before collecting it.
Arrange it
Request a special collection pickup through Public Works at 304.696.5540 option 1 or the Huntington WV 311 app, and wait for the City's assessment before expecting collection.
The same prohibited items apply, and the City sets the price after assessing the load, so the cost is not known when the request is filed.
Huntington Recycles curbside subscription through Rumpke
Households with cardboard, paper, plastics, glass, cartons and metal cans to recycle at the curb.
Cost & conditions
From $11.61 for published monthly subscription rate effective April 1, 2026, plus a one-time charge for the 95-gallon container, with a credit applied to the quarterly refuse fee bill.

The program is voluntary and does not change the City's household garbage service. Renters in buildings with five or more units are not eligible at this time, and businesses are not eligible for the residential program.
Huntington does not publish a city drop-off site, so self hauling starts with confirming a route. Items the City will not collect, including tires, car batteries, motor oil and petroleum products, and appliances that still contain refrigerant, are regulated by the DEP and EPA, and the City publishes 304.926.0495 for guidance on them. Anything the City's pages do not list, including electronics and larger scrap metal, should be confirmed with Public Works at 304.696.5540 option 1 before it goes to the curb.
