Special Trash Pickup Service

The City of Elkins 2020 Spring Cleanup event has been cancelled. There will be no Spring Cleanup during 2020. 

Materials such as furniture, hot water tanks and large amounts of debris are too large to be collected by city sanitation trucks. To assist you with disposing of such items, the city offers a paid special trash pickup service. Special pick-ups are performed by the Street Department, not the Sanitation Department.

How to Request a Special Trash Pickup
To request a special trash pick-up, contact the operations assistant at the number given below. The Street Department will schedule the pickup once the request has been submitted. Equipment such as dump trucks and backhoes are available to use on-site. Service fees apply and are dependent on the amount and volume of items. The following list shows some of the categories of items that cannot be accepted for pick-up, and offers some other options for disposal:

• Appliances (option: local metal-recycling businesses may accept these)
• Free-flowing liquids (option: paint may be allowed to dry and disposed of with normal trash; motor oil is accepted for recycling by some retailers who sell new oil)
• Batteries (option: please check this state listing of resources for disposing of “special waste”)
• Yard waste (option: use the city’s yard-waste recycling program)

• Tires can be picked up for a fee of $5.00 each.
