Jackson, MS Trash & Recycling: Pickup Rules & Schedules (2026)

Hinds County waste collection is fragmented across multiple providers. The City of Jackson contracted with Richard's Disposal for residential solid waste collection following prolonged legal disputes in 2021-2023, with weekly curbside service. Jackson residents are assigned a pickup day; bins must be placed curbside by 6 to 7 AM on the designated morning. Jackson Code Chapter 86 governs collection rules and prohibits leaving bins at curb outside the designated window. Holiday pickup delays typically shift service one day later for the remainder of the week. Missed pickups should be reported to Richard's Disposal customer service or Jackson 311. Clinton operates its own municipal sanitation service with weekly collection under Code Chapter 50. Byram contracts separately. Raymond, Terry, Bolton, Edwards, and Utica have municipal or hauler-arranged service. Unincorporated Hinds County residents must contract independently with Waste Management, Republic Services, or local haulers; there is no county-provided service. Rural residents frequently self-haul to the Hinds County Regional Solid Waste Landfill near Edwards. Recycling participation in Jackson is inconsistent due to regional processing limitations. Bulk items, hazardous household waste, and yard debris have separate collection arrangements detailed in each jurisdiction's code.
