DeSoto County, MS handles trash and recycling through a mix of municipal and contracted services. Southaven Public Services operates its own fleet for much of the city with contracted support from haulers like Waste Pro. Olive Branch, Horn Lake, and Hernando contract with private haulers (historically Waste Pro USA, Waste Connections, or Republic Services depending on period and area) for weekly curbside trash pickup. Walls and unincorporated DeSoto County residents typically subscribe directly to a private hauler. Weekly curbside collection runs Monday through Friday with each neighborhood assigned a specific day published on each city's public works website and app. Bins must be placed curbside or at the alley edge by 6 to 7 AM on pickup day; late placement is the leading cause of missed pickup. Federal holidays including New Year's Day, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving, and Christmas generally delay pickup by one day for the remainder of that week. Contaminated recycling bins with non-recyclable items may be skipped. Oversized or overweight (typically over 50-60 lbs) bins will not be collected; contents exceeding bin capacity should go out for bulk pickup or be taken to the DeSoto County Transfer Station. Yard waste (grass clippings, leaves, small branches) is collected separately in most cities, often in brown-paper lawn bags or tied bundles. Missed pickup should be reported within 24-48 hours to the city public works department or via 311-style apps.
Failure to follow schedule: missed pickup requiring resident to hold waste for next week. Repeated violations of bin placement or contamination: $50 to $200 fines from code enforcement. Dumping waste not subscribed to a hauler: illegal dumping under MS Code Ann. Β§17-17-29, up to $1,000 fine and potential misdemeanor.
