BUCKHANNON — The City of Buckhannon will host two Make it Shine events coming up in August.

Each residential waste customer is permitted to dump a maximum allowable amount equivalent to two pick-up truck loads. Residents must show proof that they are valid Waste Department customers and provide a form of identification.

Please note that customers may not take advantage of this free dumping opportunity if their names have been placed on the ‘shut-off’ list.

Tires will not be accepted at this time. Additionally, items that utilize Freon, such as air conditioners, dehumidifiers and refrigerators, must be tagged and a certified vendor must verify that the Freon has been removed.
