4 rules for unincorporated Jackson County, Mississippi.
Verified from official government sources
Jackson County municipalities provide weekly curbside trash collection through municipal services or contracted haulers. Pascagoula, Ocean Springs, Moss Point, and Gautier each have designated pickup days. Bins must be placed curbside by 6 to 7 AM. Holiday delays shift pickup one day. Contact local public works for missed pickup reports.
Jackson County requires bins placed curbside with lids fully closed on collection day, spaced at least 3 feet apart and away from obstacles. Bins must be retrieved within 12 to 24 hours after pickup and stored out of public view between collections. Hurricane preparedness adds pre-storm bin securing requirements.
Jackson County residents in unincorporated areas contract solid waste through Waste Pro or Waste Management under county franchise, with bulk pickup by appointment. Pascagoula, Ocean Springs, Moss Point, and Gautier each run separate bulky programs. Post-hurricane storm debris collection follows MDEQ and FEMA protocols for Gulf Coast counties.
Mississippi has no mandatory residential recycling law, and Jackson County recycling is voluntary drop-off only. Pascagoula operates a recycling center at 3115 Tucker Road, and MDEQ administers the state Solid Waste Assistance Grant program. No fines for non-participation.
