Jones County Solid Waste

Jones County Solid Waste is the county solid waste site near Monticello that both farmers and local residents use for household and yard cleanup. The place sits out on Edinburgh Road in Scotch Grove and handles general trash and recycling-type drops. Expect a working, no-frills transfer area rather than anything fancy.

There’s a small entrance booth and a drive-in area where trucks and pickups line up; larger rigs share the same entrance so give plenty of room. A scale is likely on site and vehicles often stop to be guided to the unloading point, so plan for a short pause. Recycling containers and yard debris piles are usually off to one side, with household trash going to the main tipping area. Weekend and spring cleanup times tend to be the busiest, so waits are common then.
