Stone County Solid Waste is the county's general drop-off in Wiggins where locals bring household trash, yard clippings, and stuff from around the property. Farmers, folks cleaning out garages, and anyone hauling a truck or trailer tend to end up here. The site sits on Court Street and looks like a typical county solid-waste place rather than a tidy commercial recycling center.
Drive up a short access road to a small booth at the entrance; most vehicles pause there before going onto the scale. The lot is mostly gravel with piles for yard waste and large roll-off boxes and bins lined up; recycling containers are usually off to one side. Trucks get weighed in and out on the scale, so plan for a brief stop at both ends of the visit. Weekends, especially in spring, can back up with pickups and trailers, so expect some wait time if arriving then.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Bring a tarp or straps for loose loads - wind can scatter lightweight yard debris on the gravel drive.
- Use the right-side lane for drop-off if you have recyclables; those containers tend to be set apart from the main trash piles.
- If hauling a trailer, back in slowly and park on firm ground; the edges of the piles get muddy after rain and maneuvering space can be tight.
