The recycling drive is open only to Mingo County residents. Those bringing items to be recycled must be bring identification proofing they are residents of Mingo County.

The CED recycling drive is made possible through funding awarded by the West Virginia Department of Environmental Protection’s (WVDEP) REAP CED Recycling Grant Program.

“We keep driving home the fact that litter is a problem in our county and we want to put forth every effort to clean up our county and keep it clean,” said Mingo County Commission President Thomas Taylor. “There are some items that solid waste companies won’t pick up and that leaves our residents with the problem of what to do with those items. This is an opportunity for us to help them properly dispose of computers, microwave ovens, and other devices they are no longer using.”
