4 rules for unincorporated Hinds County, Mississippi.
Verified from official government sources
Hinds County trash and recycling pickup varies by municipality. Jackson contracts with Richard's Disposal for residential collection as of 2023, with weekly service on assigned days. Clinton, Byram, Raymond, and Terry operate separate municipal or contracted services. Unincorporated Hinds County relies on private haulers. The Jackson contract has been subject to litigation and periodic service disruptions.
Hinds County bin placement rules require carts at the curb on collection day with lids closed, spaced at least 3 feet apart from obstacles, and retrieved within 12 to 24 hours after pickup. Jackson Code Chapter 86 prohibits leaving bins at the curb outside the collection window, and bins must be stored out of public view between pickups. Richard's Disposal and other haulers may skip bins placed incorrectly.
Hinds County bulk item disposal operates through scheduled pickup or drop-off at the Hinds County Regional Landfill near Edwards. Jackson offers bulk collection through Richard's Disposal by appointment. Large items like furniture, mattresses, and appliances (with refrigerant removed) are accepted; electronics and hazardous waste require separate handling at MDEQ-approved facilities.
Hinds County residential recycling is voluntary in most areas. Jackson's curbside recycling program has been inconsistent due to regional processing capacity and the city's infrastructure crises. Clinton operates a municipal recycling drop-off. Mississippi has no statewide mandatory recycling law, and participation rates in Hinds County remain below the national average.
