This infographic illustrates the distinction between the official state environmental regulations of West Virginia and the local workaround implemented by the Pocahontas County Solid Waste Authority (SWA).
State Regulations (Left): West Virginia mandates that Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) and Construction and Demolition (C&D) debris remain separate streams. My sources did not indicate that the state formally approved a renaming of C&D to "bulky goods." The illustration shows that a full C&D cell cannot simply be redirected into an MSW cell without violating state permits and landfill engineering.
Local Workaround (Right): Facing a full C&D cell, the Pocahontas County SWA utilized a local administrative solution. By applying an existing tipping fee to minor residential renovation debris—like a single door or a few boards—they could treat these very small amounts as "Bulky Residential Waste" or "Non-MSW" and absorb them into the main stream or stage them for transfer. Crucially, as shown on the infographic, large bulk loads and commercial C&D waste remain strictly prohibited.
