Three Rivers Solid Waste Authority

Three Rivers Solid Waste Authority on Atomic Road is the local drop-off for Jackson residents dealing with household trash, yard debris, and recyclables. Neighbors use it when cleaning out a garage, doing a big yard job, or hauling items that won’t fit in curbside cans.

There’s usually an entrance booth or gate and lanes to follow; signs or an attendant will point drivers to the right place. Expect a mix of paved and gravel surfaces with large open tipping areas and roll-off containers or piles for different materials. Vehicles often need to back up to a drop point, and unloading can be hands-on, so come prepared for some dust and noise from equipment. Many county facilities weigh loads or charge per load, so plan for a brief stop at a scale on the way out.
