Haulers certified by the WV Public Service Commission to operate in Brooke County:

Municipalities that have internal solid waste departments:

Please call your hauler for information on proper participation with regard to placement of trash cans and dumpsters. 

If your service includes the use of a dumpster, nothing left outside the dumpster will be taken by the hauler.  All items must be inside the dumpster.  It is against the law to place trash in a dumpster unless the dumpster is on your account.  Unauthorized use of a garbage dumpster is a violation of W.Va. Code §61-3-53 and is punishable by fines.  Please call the WV DNR at (304) 825-6787 to report unauthorized use of a dumpster.

All open vehicles transporting solid waste MUST be covered with a tarp, or secured in another manner, from the point of origin to point of destination or delivery at the Transfer Station. Transporting unsecured, uncovered solid waste in an open vehicle without a tarp is a violation of W. Va. Code §17C-17-6(a&b) and is punishable by fines.

**** To file a complaint about your solid waste hauler, please call the WV Public Service Commission at 1-800-344-5113 or (304) 340-0496.
