The local disposal guide
Will the city take it?
Wheeling collects its own garbage, recycling and bulky items, and the bulky service is the useful part for anything large. The Sanitation Division at 10 Hunter Avenue takes ordinary household trash, and the same page settles what happens to a couch or a mattress: one large item a week goes out with the regular household trash, in the same spot and on the same truck and day. Everything set out has to be bagged, and containers, boxes and bundles carry published size and weight limits. Glass goes in a cardboard box rather than a bag. What the division will not touch is written down too, and it covers building material, tires, oils and paints, which the city routes to the Ohio County Solid Waste Authority on (304) 234-3884. Recycling runs on its own alternation, red bins one week and blue the next, on the same day as the trash, with no separate charge because the fee sits in the water bill.
Wheeling takes bulky household items on the regular collection rather than through a separate appointment. Furniture, televisions, mattresses, box springs and couches go out one large item a week, in the same spot as the household trash, on the same truck and the same day.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. City of Wheeling households on the municipal sanitation service, which the city bills with the other utility charges. No separate bulky item charge is published, and the limit is one large item a week.
When & how
Put the item out with the regular household trash on the collection day, in the same place the trash normally sits, because the same truck takes both. Do not put anything in the alley or on the street before the day before collection.
Get it ready
Keep the set out to one large item a week, bag all household trash, and respect the published limits: no container, box or bundle over thirty gallons or two feet by four feet, and no container, box or bundle over forty pounds. Glass and sharp items go in a cardboard box rather than a bag so the worker can see them, and nothing goes in a bag where it cannot be seen. Keep building material, tires, oils, paints and other hazardous waste out of the pile, because the division refuses all of them.
Recycling in Wheeling is curbside and free, with red bins one week and blue bins the next, collected on the household trash day. The city pays for it through the water bill rather than a separate charge.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Every neighbourhood inside the city limits, with no separate recycling charge because the fee is already included in the water bill and residents may use multiple bins at no additional cost. A new or extra bin costs $13.60 from the Finance Department on 304-234-3653.
When & how
Look at whether the household holds the red or blue bin this week, then set it on the front curb on the trash day, because the two bins are collected on alternating weeks. Nothing goes out before the day before collection.
Get it ready
Rinse food cans and remove the labels, and make sure every can is entirely metal. Break corrugated cardboard down flat to no larger than twelve by eighteen inches and keep it clean and dry, with cardboard rolls allowed and pizza boxes, food soiled containers and wet cardboard refused. Paper cups, textiles and other material outside the published list do not belong in the bin.
No Wheeling page kept here publishes a yard debris, leaf or brush collection, and the sanitation page refuses building material and caps every box or bundle at four feet by two feet. The route for a yard load therefore has to be confirmed rather than assumed.
City cost & eligibility
The city publishes no yard debris programme or rate on the pages kept here, and the sanitation division refuses building material including wood, carpet and plaster. Call the Sanitation Division on (304) 234-3707 and describe the load, or ask the Ohio County Solid Waste Authority on (304) 234-3884, before putting a yard pile at the curb.
When & how
Confirm the route first, then use whatever collection or drop off the city confirms. Nothing is set out before the day before collection.
Get it ready
Keep yard material out of the bagged household trash if it does not fit the published container limits, and keep it separate from anything the division refuses such as wood, carpet, plaster or concrete.
Tires are refused by the city's own collection and routed to the county authority, whose published site does not resolve, so the packet carries the phone number rather than a claimed programme.
City cost & eligibility
The sanitation page refuses tires by name and says questions about tires, oils, paints and other hazardous waste go to the Ohio County Solid Waste Authority on (304) 234-3884. The authority's website, which the city links as ocswawv.org, did not resolve when this packet was written, so call that number and confirm the drop off, its hours, any charge and any limit on the number of tires.
When & how
Call the county authority first, then deliver the tires only to the site it confirms. Tires never go out with the household trash, because the sanitation division refuses them.
Get it ready
Keep tires off the curb and out of the trash container, and keep them out of the recycling bin, which takes cans, paper and cardboard only. Ask on the call whether the rims stay on, because that often decides the fee.
Scrap metal is named nowhere in the city's published lists. The recycling programme takes food and drink cans, paper and cardboard only, so a metal load has to be confirmed with the city or the county authority.
City cost & eligibility
No scrap metal stream or rate is published on the Wheeling pages kept here, and the recycling list covers cans, paper and cardboard. Call the Sanitation Division on (304) 234-3707 or the Ohio County Solid Waste Authority on (304) 234-3884 and describe the metal before hauling it.
When & how
Confirm the route first, then deliver the metal only to the site that confirms it accepts the load.
Get it ready
Keep metal out of the recycling bin, which takes cans, paper and cardboard only, and out of the household trash, which caps containers, boxes and bundles at thirty gallons and forty pounds. Strip anything attached to the metal, such as wood, plastic, oil or refrigerant, before the trip so the load arrives clean.
Wheeling does not run a separate bulky item schedule. Furniture, televisions, mattresses, box springs and couches go out one large item a week, placed in the same spot as the regular weekly household trash, and the same truck collects them on the same day.
Bag everything and stay inside the container limits
All trash has to be bagged. Household garbage goes in leak proof watertight containers of no more than thirty gallons, a box or bundle may be no more than four feet long by two feet wide, and the city publishes both a fifty pound limit on a container, box or bundle and a refusal threshold of forty pounds. Nothing goes into the alley or onto the street before the day before collection, and the listed official holidays delay pickup by one day.
Glass and sharp items are accepted for the landfill but must not be put in a plastic bag or hidden inside a trash can. Put them in a cardboard box so the worker can see them, and even a note on the box helps prevent an injury.
The Sanitation Division refuses building materials including carpet, wood, paint, drywall, shingles, plaster and concrete, along with oils, batteries and tires, and it will not take containers, boxes or bundles over the weight limit. Tires, oils, paints and other hazardous waste go to the Ohio County Solid Waste Authority on (304) 234-3884, whose own site did not resolve when this packet was written.
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.

Call the Ohio County Solid Waste Authority
A Wheeling household with tires, oil, paint or another item the city refuses.
Cost & conditions

Arrange it
