Gulfport and Biloxi require trash bins stored out of street view between collections. Waste Pro (Gulfport) and Waste Management (Biloxi) collect curbside. Bins at curb evening before, retrieved same day. Hurricane debris has separate rules.
Harrison County cities contract solid waste collection: Gulfport with Waste Pro, Biloxi with Waste Management, Pass Christian and D'Iberville with various providers. City codes require trash and recycling carts stored behind a fence, in a garage, or screened from street view between pickups. Carts may be placed at curb after 6 PM the day before collection and must be retrieved by end of collection day or within 24 hours. Lids must close fully; overflow results in non-collection. Hurricane debris has separate collection protocols after declared emergencies with storm debris, vegetation, and construction materials in distinct piles. HOAs may impose stricter rules.
Bin visibility violations: warning then $25-$100 fine. Overflowing carts: non-collection and re-service fee ($15-$50). Repeat violations: code enforcement escalation up to $500.
