Harrison County municipalities provide weekly curbside trash pickup via contracted haulers (Waste Pro, Waste Management). Bins out by 6-7 AM. Recycling schedules vary by city. Post-hurricane debris handled separately under FEMA/MEMA plans.
Harrison County waste collection is handled by individual municipalities and the Harrison County Solid Waste Department for unincorporated areas. Gulfport contracts with Waste Pro, Biloxi operates its own Sanitation Department, D'Iberville uses Waste Management, and Long Beach and Pass Christian use private haulers. Residents receive assigned pickup days, typically once per week for trash and bi-weekly or separate-day for recycling where offered. Bins must be placed curbside by the designated morning time, typically 6-7 AM on pickup day. Holiday delays shift pickup one day (most services observe New Year's Day, Memorial Day, July 4th, Labor Day, Thanksgiving, Christmas). Contaminated recycling bins may be skipped and tagged. Oversized, overweight (typically 40-60 lbs max), or improperly bagged trash will not be collected. Hurricane and tropical storm debris is handled separately under FEMA Public Assistance and MEMA debris management plans; after Katrina, Harrison County's debris operations set a national precedent for post-disaster cleanup. Call your specific municipal public works for schedule changes, missed pickup reports, and bulk item scheduling. Private haulers operate under franchise agreements governed by MS Code Ann. Β§17-17 solid waste management statutes.
Failure to follow schedule may result in missed pickup with no makeup service. Repeated violations of bin rules: $50-$200 fine from municipal code enforcement. Illegal dumping (placing trash outside own property): $500-$5,000 under MS Code Β§17-17-29. Placing bulk items without scheduling: $100 citation.
