Hinds County residents use private haulers or municipal service (Jackson contract disputed post-2023). Bins must be screened from street view between pickups; placement 24 hours before collection.
Hinds County trash collection varies by jurisdiction. City of Jackson's sanitation service has been subject to major disputes since 2023, including the Richard's Disposal contract litigation and ongoing contract changes — residents should verify current provider. Unincorporated Hinds County residents contract privately (Waste Management, Waste Pro, others). County nuisance ordinance requires bins stored out of public view between collections — behind the house, in a garage, or screened. Bins may be placed at curb no earlier than 24 hours before pickup and must be retrieved within 24 hours after. Lids must remain closed; overflowing bins violate the county nuisance ordinance. Illegal dumping is a significant problem in parts of Hinds County and is prosecuted under MS Code §97-15-29 (misdemeanor) or §97-15-30 (felony for 100+ lbs).
Bin storage/placement: warning, then $25 to $100 fine. Illegal dumping under MS §97-15-29: misdemeanor up to $1,000. Felony dumping §97-15-30: up to $10,000 fine.
