– Effective immediately, due to the COVID-19 outbreak, Elkins Waste Services is changing how they pick up residential trash for the safety of their workers. All trash must be bagged and placed in an Elkins Waste Services cart or a suitable can that can be lifted by their employees. They will not collect any items setting outside of the can or on the ground. They are suspending curbside bulky item collections and all “spring cleanups” at this time. Curbside recycling customers in Russell and Flatwoods, please continue to follow the in-mold lid instructions on the provided cart for recycling.
