MARMET, W.Va. (WCHS) — Leaders in Marmet are asking some residents to quit disposing human feces and urine alongside their trash.

The town said in a statement on Facebook that it has discovered one or more residents have been placing human waste for collection.

“Article 931.06 of the Codified Ordinances prohibits the collection and removal of sewage and animal excreta,” the town said in the post. “Moreover, federal, state and local laws prohibit the improper disposal of bio-hazardous materials in the manner described above.”

Marmet officials said no human excrement will be removed from town workers and anyone who is found to be disposing of it along with their trash will be reported to the Kanawha-Charleston Health Department and prosecuted.
