Recycling in Buckhannon and Upshur County
Recycling is available to all City of Buckhannon and Upshur County residents within the City of Buckhannon’s service area, which covers more than two-thirds of the County. The City and Upshur County Solid Waste Authority, who partner to provide recycling services, also provide commercial cardboard recycling, school paper recycling, paper shred events, and year-round appliance, electronics and yard waste recycling. These services are provided in a variety of collection methods, both curbside and through collection centers.
Curbside recycling is available to City of Buckhannon residents the first and third Tuesday of every month. Clear Soda and Water Bottles (#1) and Milk Jugs (#2) Plastic, Steel and Aluminum cans, and Newspaper are collected in curbside bins provided by the City of Buckhannon and the Upshur County Solid Waste Authority, or in the resident’s personal bin, as long as the materials are sorted and bagged. The items must be visible through the bags, so use clear or sheer bags only. Curbside recycling is an important service for residents who may not be able to recycle otherwise and a nice benefit for City residents as a whole, and serves as one more reason to choose to live within the corporate limits.
