Yard Waste Recycling Closed
City of Elkins must temporarily pause accepting yard-waste at the city recycling drop-off site on Jones Drive.
A high volume of yard waste was received today, and the container is full. We have contacted our contractor and will provide an update once we know when they will be able to come pick it up.
Please don’t leave yard waste on the ground next to the container.
