(662) 285-3850Choctaw County Solid Waste in Ackerman is the county solid waste site locals use for household trash, yard debris and recycling drop-off. It’s the kind of place residents swing by with a pickup or trailer when curbside pickup won’t cut it. Expect a practical, no-frills setup typical of rural Mississippi convenience centers.
Pull up to the entrance where there’s usually a small booth or gate area to check in; vehicles line up on busy weekends. The site is open-air with roll-off containers and piles for different materials, and the recycling bins are typically off to one side. Bring a trailer or truck bed that’s easy to unload-there’s room to back in and dump, though surfaces can be gravel or packed dirt. Lines can form during spring cleanup, so plan for a short wait if it’s a weekend or nice weather day.
