DeSoto County has no mandatory curbside recycling ordinance. Southaven, Olive Branch, Horn Lake, and Hernando offer voluntary drop-off sites; curbside recycling was discontinued across DeSoto cities in 2018-2019 after market collapse.
DeSoto County does not mandate residential recycling. Southaven ended curbside recycling in 2018; Olive Branch discontinued its program in 2019 after China's National Sword policy collapsed recyclables markets. Residents may use the DeSoto County Landfill drop-off in Hernando (3250 Rasco Rd E) for cardboard, paper, and metals. Waste Pro and Waste Connections handle franchised trash collection — recycling is not included in base residential service. Mississippi has no statewide recycling mandate under MS Code §17-17. Yard waste collection is separate in most DeSoto cities (spring/fall leaf pickup). Commercial cardboard recycling is market-driven, not mandated.
No mandatory recycling penalties. Illegal dumping at drop-off sites: MS Code §97-15-29 misdemeanor, $250 to $1,000 fine. Commercial haulers using residential drop-offs: trespass citation.
