Free for Jackson County residents (in town or out) with a Jackson County car tag
Accepts: Furniture, limbs, stumps and leaves, brick, concrete, asphalt, stone and mortar, untreated wood, metal, glass, plastic, cardboard boxes, sawdust and wood chips, and white goods with the motor removed.
Won't take: Household garbage, food or drink waste, containers of any kind, paint and chemical containers, treated wood, engines or motors, liquids, asbestos, medical or hazardous waste.
Recycled here with restrictions: batteries, TVs, computer monitors and towers, refrigerators and tires.
The landfill takes tires from residents: rims off, no tire dealers or other large generators, and you tell the attendant how many you're bringing so it goes in the daily log. When you buy new tires, the county notes, the retailer can't charge you a disposal fee for the same number of old ones.
Batteries, TVs, computer monitors and towers, and refrigerators are taken for recycling, with restrictions, and the landfill runs a recycling drop-off for items curbside recycling won't take. Paint, chemicals and other household hazardous waste aren't accepted; save them for your city's amnesty day.
Mississippi law keeps two things out of landfills. Car batteries: lead-acid batteries are banned from landfill disposal, and a store that sells you a new battery has to take back your old one. Whole tires: landfills and rubbish sites can't accept them under MDEQ's rules, so tires go to county tire collection sites or back to the tire store. State law doesn't ban appliances, TVs or yard waste from disposal; each county sets its own rules for those.
Roadside pickup and garbage service
Outside city limits, the county's Solid Waste Department picks up large items that the garbage hauler won't, up to 3 cubic yards per pickup, on a set week of the month for each community. It won't collect from vacant lots, debris from building or remodeling, or whole cut-up trees, and with one worker and one truck per area, the county asks residents to use the free landfill when they can.
Household garbage and weekly curbside recycling in unincorporated Jackson County are handled by Waste Management, (228) 831-8900. Bag your garbage, put it in the container, and set it at the road the night before pickup.
