Scrap metal and metal cans

Special rules apply

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.

City of Huntington Department of Public Works

Assessed special pickup for larger loads

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.

Taking it somewhere yourself?

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.

Before you book

A few things
worth knowing.

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

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.

Are metal cans recyclable at the curb?

Yes. Aluminum cans and steel soup and vegetable cans are on the accepted materials list for the Huntington Recycles curbside program.Official guidance

What about larger pieces of scrap metal?

Larger scrap metal is not named in the City's accepted items or in its list of items it will not collect. Call Public Works at 304.696.5540 and press option 1 to confirm whether a metal item can go out with a bulky or special pickup.Official guidance

Who collects garbage in Huntington?

The City's Sanitation and Trash Division runs weekly curbside refuse pickup of residential garbage Monday through Friday on seven daily routes, plus monthly pickups of non-household garbage. Curbside recycling is a separate voluntary subscription handled by Rumpke.Official guidance

When can I set my garbage out for collection?

Weekly household garbage should not be set out before 6 p.m. the night before your scheduled pickup day. Setting it out later keeps animals and wind from scattering it.Official guidance

Who can subscribe to curbside recycling?

Only City of Huntington residents whose household garbage is serviced by the City, which includes owner-occupied properties and renters in apartment buildings with four or fewer units. Renters in buildings with five or more units are not eligible at this time, and businesses are not eligible for the residential program.Official guidance
