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.
