A clear count. An exact price.

Count the bags and boxes, not everything inside.

A few simple choices turn a mixed pile into a clear booking. No need to estimate how much of a truck it might fill.

Filled bags and boxes

Count each trash bag or filled household box. Books and media go by the box. Clothes, bedding and shoes go by the filled bag. Toys packed together have a Box of toys choice. Ask us about unusually heavy or oversized bags and boxes first.

Empty cardboard and containers

Empty cardboard is a different choice: choose single empty boxes or tied bundles of 10 flattened boxes. Compacted bales have their own weight-based choices and require loading-dock access. A Storage bin choice covers the empty bin itself; ask us to confirm the contents if they are going too.

Furniture and other larger items

Add the actual larger item alongside your bags and boxes, such as a sofa, chair or mattress. It has its own price and preparation. Keep construction materials and items needing special handling out of ordinary household bags.

One large household item a week

Accepted with preparation

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.

The handoff matters

Right item.
Right place.

One large item a week, with the regular trash

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.

City of Wheeling Sanitation Division page with the office at 10 Hunter Avenue, Wheeling, WV 26003 on (304) 234-3707, the division responsibility for ordinary household trash, the rule that each container, box or bundle weigh no more than fifty pounds with all trash bagged, the requirement that household garbage go in leak proof watertight containers of no more than thirty gallons and that a box or bundle measure no more than four feet long by two feet wide, the bulky item rule allowing one large item a week including furniture, televisions, mattresses, box springs and couches placed in the same spot as the regular household trash and collected on the same truck and day, the refusal of building materials including carpet, wood, paint, drywall, shingles, plaster, concrete, oils, batteries and tires and of containers, boxes and bundles exceeding forty pounds, the instruction to put glass and sharp items in a cardboard box so they are visible to the worker, the rule that tires, oils, paints and other hazardous waste are not collected and that questions go to the Ohio County Solid Waste Authority on (304) 234-3884, the rule that trash and recycling may not be set out until the day before collection, and the holiday rule delaying pickup by one 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 goes in a cardboard box, not a bag

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.

What the city refuses, and where the questions go

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.

City of Wheeling Public Works Sanitation and Recycling Divisions with the Ohio County Solid Waste Authority

Put one large item out with the trash

A Wheeling household with a couch, a mattress and box spring, a television or another large household item.

Cost & conditions
No charge. City of Wheeling households on the municipal sanitation service, with no separate bulky item charge published and a limit of one large item a week.
Arrange it
Put the item in the same spot as the regular household trash on the collection day, so the same truck takes both, and do not set anything out before the day before collection.

One large item a week only, everything else bagged, and the container and bundle limits apply. Building material, tires, oils, paints and other hazardous waste are refused.

Taking it somewhere yourself?

Self haul in Wheeling has no city facility to drive to. The city runs curbside collection only: household trash and one large item a week go out together, recycling runs on alternating red and blue bins on the trash day, and the Sanitation Division at 10 Hunter Avenue on (304) 234-3707 answers the questions. What the city will not take is written down, and it covers building material, tires, oils, paints and other hazardous waste. Those go to the Ohio County Solid Waste Authority on (304) 234-3884, which the city names as the route and which also runs a drop off for recyclables at The Highlands behind Best Buy according to a city news post. The authority's own website, linked by the city as ocswawv.org, did not resolve when this packet was written, so this packet carries the phone number and no address, hours or fee for that site, and a reader with tires, oil, paint or a yard load should make that call before loading a vehicle.

Can you pick up bags of junk today?

Book by 2pm in the pickup address’s local time for same-day pickup. Available dates appear at checkout. Have the booked bags and boxes outside and accessible according to your confirmation.

Can you pick up a small loose pile of household junk?
