A county solid waste site in downtown Jackson that most locals use for household trash, recycling and yard debris. It’s the kind of place residents drop by with trailers or pickup loads on the way home from town. Expect a practical, working-yard feel rather than anything fancy.
Pull up to a small entrance booth and get directed where to go; there’s a scale on the approach so many people stop there both coming in and heading back out. The drop-off areas are open and gravelly, with piles or bins for different materials set off to one side. Trucks and pickups are common, and lines can form on weekend mornings and during spring cleanup. Bring a tarp or straps if hauling loose yard waste - things can be dusty and a little muddy after rain.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Keep loads secured and covered until at the drop point; wind can scatter loose debris on the drive in and out.
- If towing a trailer, allow extra time to line up on the scale and maneuver in the yard - the aisles aren’t wide.
- Bring separate, easy-to-handle loads for recycling versus bulk trash so unloading is quicker and less back-and-forth.
