Scrap metal
Special rules applyScrap 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.
The handoff matters
Right item.
Right place.
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.

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.

Before you book
A few things
worth knowing.
Scrap metal removal, from your photo request to the pickup plan in Wheeling.
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.
Where does scrap metal go in Wheeling?
Confirm it first. The city's recycling programme publishes a list of food and drink cans, newspapers, magazines, paper and corrugated cardboard, so a load of scrap metal is not part of the curbside bin, and the sanitation division caps containers, boxes and bundles at thirty gallons and forty pounds. 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.Official guidance
What will Wheeling not take at the curb?
Building materials, including carpet, wood, paint, drywall, shingles, plaster and concrete, along with oils, batteries and tires. Containers, boxes and bundles over the published weight limit are refused too. Glass and sharp items are accepted, but they have to go in a cardboard box where the worker can see them rather than in a bag or hidden in a can.Official guidance
Where do tires, oil and paint go in Wheeling?
To the Ohio County Solid Waste Authority on (304) 234-3884, which is the number the city publishes for tires, oils, paints and other hazardous waste it refuses. The authority also runs a drop off for recyclables at The Highlands behind Best Buy, according to a city news post. The authority's website did not resolve when this packet was written, so call that number to confirm the site, its hours, the charge and any limit before loading a vehicle.Official guidance
