Jackson, MS Trash & Recycling: Bulk Item Disposal (2026)

Bulk item disposal in Hinds County varies by jurisdiction. Jackson residents can schedule bulk pickup through Richard's Disposal by appointment, typically for a fee beyond regular service; eligible items include furniture, mattresses, area rugs, and large appliances with refrigerant (freon) professionally removed and tagged. Construction debris, yard waste in excess of small amounts, electronics, and hazardous materials (paint, batteries, motor oil, pesticides) are excluded and must be managed separately. Clinton, Byram, Raymond, and Terry have their own bulk programs generally on a monthly schedule or by appointment. Unincorporated Hinds County residents self-haul bulk items to the Hinds County Regional Solid Waste Landfill at 7780 Utica Cato Road near Edwards, operated by Waste Connections or similar private operator under county contract, with tipping fees based on load weight. MDEQ regulates landfill operations under MS Code Ann. §17-17-1 et seq. Electronics waste (TVs, computers) can be taken to select MDEQ e-waste drop-off events or retailers like Best Buy. Household hazardous waste events are held periodically; check Jackson 311 or the Hinds County website for schedules. Illegal dumping is a serious concern in rural Hinds County, especially along Pearl River access roads and abandoned industrial sites.
