The Kanawha County Solid Waste Authority

The Kanawha County Solid Waste Authority (KCSWA) is in charge of waste reduction and recycling for Kanawha County. In 2015, the agency demolished the old recycling facility, and we are currently working to create a long term solution for recycling. Beyond providing a location for Kanawha County residents to recycle, the agency is also focused on:

  • Educating the public on the importance and benefits of recycling.
  • Raising awareness of recycling opportunities and requirements.
  • Facilitating the recycling of all materials in Kanawha County.
