Solid Waste Facility

Pine Belt Regional Solid Waste Management Authority

5274 MS-29, Ovett, MS 39464

(601) 545-2121

A regional solid waste drop-off in Ovett that locals use for household trash, yard debris and whatever recyclables the site accepts. Small-town scale-more like a county convenience center than a big municipal transfer station. People from around the area pull in with trailers, pickup loads and the occasional landscaping truck.

Drive up a short lane to a manned entrance booth and be prepared to stop briefly while staff or the scale operator checks the load. There’s usually a scale and a place to pull forward for unloading, with open compacting areas and piles or bins visible from the drive. Recycling bins and yard-waste spots tend to be grouped off to the side, so have materials separated before getting out. Weekends and spring cleanup days get the longest lines, so expect to wait if it’s busy.

Before You Go

  • Have trash sorted and easy-to-unload before getting out of the vehicle-separating recyclables and brush saves time at the pit.
  • Secure loads with a tarp or straps for the trip over; loose debris can be a hassle when backing into the drop-off area.
  • Try for a weekday morning if possible-less traffic and shorter lineups than weekend afternoons.
