(601) 960-1193Jackson City Solid Waste Division at 200 S President St is the city-run drop-off most locals use for household trash, yard clippings, and basic recycling. It's right in downtown Jackson, so it's handy for nearby neighborhoods and small contractors. Accepted items and any fees follow city and state rules, so what can be taken may vary from other sites.
Pull into a municipal lot that looks practical - pavement, large containers, and maintenance equipment are common sights rather than landscaping or storefront signage. Like most city solid waste facilities, there are usually separate spots for recyclables, yard waste, and bulk trash, and vehicles pull up to unload rather than leaving items curbside. Lines can form, especially during spring cleanups and busy weekends, so a short wait is possible. The list of accepted items and any charges are determined by the city and state, so bring pre-sorted loads and any required documentation.
