Harrison County municipalities offer scheduled bulk pickup for large items (furniture, appliances with refrigerant removed). Construction debris and hazardous materials excluded. Harrison County Transfer Station accepts bulk drop-offs. Illegal dumping $500-$5,000 under MS Code Β§17-17.
Harrison County cities provide bulk item collection on a scheduled basis (monthly in some cities, by appointment in others) through municipal public works departments. Eligible items include furniture, mattresses, and large appliances (refrigerators, washers, dryers). Appliances containing refrigerant (refrigerators, freezers, AC units) must have the refrigerant professionally removed and tagged by a certified technician per EPA Β§608 before curbside pickup. Electronics (e-waste), batteries, tires, paint, motor oil, and other household hazardous materials are excluded and must go to designated drop-off facilities. The Harrison County Transfer Station and MDEQ-permitted facilities accept hazardous waste by appointment. Construction debris (drywall, roofing, lumber) is not eligible for standard bulk pickup; homeowners doing demolition must hire a C&D hauler or rent a dumpster. Items must be placed curbside on the scheduled date only, not days in advance. Excessive piles (beyond typical household volume) may require a special hauling fee. Hurricane debris is handled separately under FEMA/MEMA rules; after named storms, specialized debris haulers sort vegetative, C&D, appliances, and hazardous materials into separate curbside piles for weeks or months. Biloxi, Gulfport, and Pass Christian offer specific Spring/Fall heavy trash weeks.
Illegal dumping: $500-$5,000 fine under MS Code Β§17-17-29 plus cleanup costs and possible misdemeanor. Placing bulk items before scheduled date: $50-$200 code enforcement citation. Disposing hazardous materials in regular trash: MDEQ enforcement with civil penalties up to $25,000/day under MS Code Β§49-17. Refrigerant violations: $500+ EPA penalties possible.
