Regional Compliance Hub: Household Hazardous Waste, Electronics, Tires & Recycling — Jackson, MS

This regional hub is designed to support compliant waste-management practices by helping Jackson residents and multifamily property teams identify current City- or program-listed disposal and recycling options for household hazardous waste, electronics, tires, recyclables, and bulky materials.

Local recycling reality: Jackson's municipal curbside recycling program remains suspended until further notice. Residents currently rely on private subscription recycling, material-specific community collection programs, and other lawful recycling options. [1][8]

For household hazardous waste, the City's permanent residential drop-off program operates through the Environmental Service Center (ESC) . [2]

Jackson Multifamily Requirement — 5+ Units: Jackson Code §106-113(b) requires the owner or authorized representative of an apartment complex containing five (5) or more living units to provide adequate solid-waste storage containers or facilities approved by the Director of Public Works. [3]

Ownership or its authorized representative is also responsible for keeping the premises clean and providing access drives or driveways suitable for solid-waste collection vehicles. [3]

Property managers should therefore evaluate dumpster/container capacity, enclosure access, collection frequency, truck maneuvering, bulk-item controls, litter, and surrounding sanitation as part of the property's normal waste-management program.

City Collection Eligibility — Verify Before Relying on Curbside Service

Jackson's current public-facing residential garbage guidance lists single-family homes, duplexes, and triplexes as receiving standard City residential collection. [4]

The codified definition of a residential unit historically includes dwelling units in multifamily properties containing four or fewer units. Because the current City service guidance and the broader Code definition are not identical, four-unit properties and larger communities should verify current collection eligibility directly with the Jackson Solid Waste Division rather than assuming ordinary residential curbside service applies. [3][4]

Environmental Service Center — Residential Household Hazardous Waste + Limited Electronics

The Environmental Service Center is Jackson's permanent City Household Hazardous Waste (HHW) collection facility. The City's current accepted-material information includes household items such as paint, used motor oil, antifreeze, pesticides, automotive batteries, fluorescent bulbs, and specified electronic equipment. [2]

Household hazardous waste should not be placed into ordinary City residential collection where the City identifies the material as prohibited or requiring special disposal.

  • Facility: Environmental Service Center (ESC) [2]
  • Current City-Listed Address: 1570 University Blvd, Jackson, MS 39204. Verify directions before traveling because older program materials may reference Terry Road / Highway 80 area addresses. [2]
  • Published Collection Schedule: Program information lists Tuesdays & Thursdays (8:00 AM – 3:00 PM) and the 4th Saturday (8:00 AM – 3:00 PM). Verify current hours before traveling. [5]
  • Accepted HHW Examples: Paint, used motor oil, antifreeze, pesticides, automotive batteries, fluorescent bulbs, and other qualifying household materials listed by the City. [2]
  • Electronics Currently Listed: Computers/monitors, keyboards and accessories, printers/copiers, cell phones, and related electronics. [2]
  • City Contact: 601-960-0000. Confirm current materials, hours, residency requirements, and temporary capacity restrictions before traveling. [2]

Important Property Manager HHW Warning: The City expressly identifies the Environmental Service Center program as for residents only. [2]

Apartment-management companies, maintenance departments, contractors, vendors, and unit-turn crews should not assume that property-generated or business-generated paint, chemicals, oils, pesticides, electronics, or other materials qualify for the residential HHW program.

Property-generated hazardous or specialty waste should be handled through an appropriately authorized commercial or specialty-waste provider where required.

Televisions & Electronics — Do Not Assume ESC Acceptance

The ESC currently lists several categories of electronics, but the City's current HHW acceptance page does not specifically list televisions. [2]

Jackson's current residential bulk-item guidance separately identifies televisions among qualifying residential bulk materials for eligible City collection customers. [6]

Large apartment communities should not assume that the City's ordinary residential bulk program applies. Property managers should confirm television and e-waste procedures through the property's existing off-site hauler, electronics recycler, or current City program guidance.

Waste Tires — Separate City Program

Tires should not be presented as an Environmental Service Center material unless the City specifically confirms otherwise. Jackson operates a separate Waste Tire Collection Program. [7]

Current City guidance allows eligible residential customers to schedule collection of up to five tires per pickup, generally on Wednesday, with a maximum of two tire pickups per residence per year. [7]

Additional tires may be taken to the City's Byram rubbish facility under current facility rules and published tire charges. Property managers of larger apartment communities should verify whether residential tire collection applies or arrange removal through an appropriate tire/waste provider.

Jackson Recycling — Municipal Curbside Suspended, Other Options Available

Jackson's municipal curbside recycling program remains suspended until further notice. [1]

That does not mean recycling is unavailable throughout Jackson. Current recycling opportunities include private subscription services, Keep Jackson Beautiful / Replenysh community collection programs, material-specific drop-offs, and private recyclers. [8][9]

Multifamily property managers should use the actual acceptance list provided by the property's recycling provider rather than assuming all Jackson-area programs accept the same materials.

Current Jackson / Hinds County Recycling Options

  • Community Recycling: Keep Jackson Beautiful / Replenysh operates material-specific community recycling collection in Jackson. Current locations and accepted materials can change, so verify the program map before traveling. [8]
  • Cardboard: MDEQ currently lists FV Recycling — 3010 North Mill Street, Jackson as a cardboard recycling location. Verify current public-access rules and hours. [9]
  • Glass / Mixed Materials: MDEQ currently lists EnvironMentality as a private/subscription recycling provider accepting materials including glass, cardboard, paper, metals, and plastics. [9]
  • Scrap Metal: Tri-Miss Recycling — 416 W. Woodrow Wilson Ave, Jackson, MS 39213. Tri-Miss operates a public scrap-metal recycling facility. Verify current hours and accepted material types before delivery. [10]

Rankin County Recycling — Not a General Jackson Resident Drop-Off

Rankin County now operates its recycling facility at 479 East Mark Drive, Brandon, MS 39042. [11]

Current County information lists accepted materials including PET #1 plastic, newsprint, cardboard, and aluminum. [11]

Eligibility matters: Rankin County states that the facility serves citizens and businesses of Rankin County. Jackson/Hinds County residents should therefore not rely on this facility without first confirming eligibility.

Bulk Trash & Large Apartment Communities

Jackson's published curbside bulk-item program applies to eligible residential collection customers, which current City guidance identifies principally as single-family homes, duplexes, and triplexes. [4][6]

Large multifamily properties should therefore not assume City curbside bulk service applies. Property management should establish an appropriate process through the property's contracted waste provider for sofas, mattresses, furniture, appliances, move-out waste, and other bulky materials.

Items should not be placed at the curb or outside a dumpster enclosure unless the property's management or applicable collection provider has specifically authorized that placement.

City of Jackson Class I Rubbish Site — Byram

Jackson operates a Class I rubbish disposal facility at:

6810 I-55 South Frontage Road
Byram, MS [12]

Current City guidance lists acceptance of specified construction/demolition debris, rubble, vegetative debris, furniture, tires, and other qualifying materials. The City currently publishes $5-per-cubic-yard charges for specified debris categories, while some other materials use separate fee schedules. [12]

Property managers and contractors should verify commercial eligibility, current rates, accepted materials, vehicle requirements, and operating hours before using the facility.

Jackson vs. Jackson County — Do Not Mix the Jurisdictions

The City of Jackson is located primarily in Hinds County.

Jackson County, Mississippi is a separate Gulf Coast county. Facilities such as the Seaman Road Landfill serve a different jurisdiction and should not be presented as ordinary disposal options for Jackson/Hinds County residents. [13]

Jackson property managers should use City of Jackson, Hinds County, MDEQ, or properly authorized private resources applicable to the property.

Jackson Rental Registration & Property Maintenance

Jackson's Rental Registration Program applies to rental housing, including multifamily rental units and apartments. [14]

The program operates together with the City's adopted Property Maintenance Code and applicable registration, certification, and inspection requirements.

For apartment operators, waste-area housekeeping should therefore be managed as part of a broader property-maintenance program that includes clean premises, safe access, exterior property conditions, collection areas, and resident/contractor disposal practices.

Jackson Multifamily Property Manager Checklist

  • Confirm Unit Count: Determine whether the property has five or more living units and therefore falls under the apartment-specific requirements of §106-113(b).
  • Verify Approved Storage: For 5+ unit apartment complexes, provide adequate solid-waste storage containers or facilities approved by the Public Works director.
  • Maintain Clean Premises: Routinely inspect dumpster areas, enclosures, parking areas, landscaping, and surrounding grounds for litter, overflow, illegal dumping, and abandoned bulk items.
  • Maintain Collection-Vehicle Access: Keep required access drives and driveways usable by the property's solid-waste collection vehicles.
  • Confirm Residential vs. Private Service: Do not assume City residential collection applies to a 4+ unit or large apartment community. Verify the property's current collection arrangement.
  • Confirm Recycling Access: Because City curbside recycling remains suspended, determine whether the property uses a private subscription recycler, community program, material-specific drop-off, or other recycling arrangement.
  • Separate HHW: Do not place household hazardous waste into ordinary collection where prohibited. Residents may use eligible household programs; property-generated/business waste should use appropriate commercial channels.
  • Separate Tires: Follow Jackson's current waste-tire procedures or arrange appropriate private removal rather than assuming tires belong at the ESC.
  • Manage Electronics & TVs: Use current City/e-waste guidance and the property's hauler rules. Do not assume every electronic device is accepted by the ESC or ordinary apartment dumpsters.
  • Control Bulk Items: Establish written procedures for sofas, mattresses, appliances, move-out materials, and other bulky items that may not qualify for City curbside collection.
  • Maintain Documentation: Keep hauling agreements, schedules, site observations, resident notices, contamination reports, bulk-item records, and corrective-action documentation.
  • Coordinate with Rental Compliance: Integrate waste-area inspections with the property's broader Rental Registration and Property Maintenance Code procedures.

How National Doorstep Supports Jackson Multifamily Communities

In markets without municipal curbside recycling, operational problems often appear at apartment collection areas through contamination, unapproved electronics, bulk-item accumulation, loose bags, and improper disposal of household hazardous materials.

National Doorstep helps apartment owners and authorized property-management teams establish resident set-out rules, recycling instructions, special-material guidance, contamination procedures, and service documentation designed to reduce improper disposal and support cleaner property operations.

National Doorstep Service Scope: National Doorstep provides on-property doorstep collection under property ownership or authorized management approval. Our porters move properly prepared resident-setout trash and recyclables from apartment-door set-out locations to property-designated collection points on private property.

National Doorstep operates upstream from municipal and privately contracted off-site hauling and recycling services. Our doorstep service does not replace or interfere with Jackson's municipal collection, private off-site hauling, recycling processing, landfill disposal, household-hazardous-waste handling, electronics recycling, tire processing, or other regulated waste-management services.

National Doorstep - The Valet Trash Service Experts

Jackson apartment owners, asset managers, regional managers, and on-site teams: multifamily solid-waste responsibilities in Jackson are governed principally by City of Jackson Code Chapter 106 — Solid Waste. The City does not operate under the Chapter 38 multifamily recycling framework sometimes cited in unrelated municipal ordinances.

Jackson Code creates an important multifamily distinction. For an apartment complex containing five or more living units, the owner or authorized representative must provide adequate solid-waste storage containers or facilities approved by the Director of Public Works, keep the premises clean, and provide suitable access drives or driveways for solid-waste collection vehicles.

Jackson's municipal curbside recycling program remains suspended until further notice. Multifamily recycling should therefore be evaluated separately from the property's required trash collection through an appropriate private recycler, material-specific program, or other lawful recycling arrangement.

Outside Jackson, Hinds County's residential garbage program applies to rural/unincorporated areas outside municipal boundaries. Incorporated communities including Byram, Clinton, Raymond, Terry, Utica, Bolton, Edwards, and Learned should be reviewed individually because municipal collection and property-maintenance requirements can differ.

  • Support Cleaner Property Operations: Reduce recurring overflow, loose waste, litter, illegal dumping, blocked dumpster access, and unsanitary collection-area conditions.
  • Resident-First Convenience: Doorstep collection provides residents a convenient route from apartment doors to property-designated waste and recycling collection points.
  • Jurisdiction-Aware Design: Container size, collection frequency, truck access, enclosure configuration, recycling arrangements, and resident instructions should reflect the property's actual municipality.
  • Operational Support: National Doorstep can support resident education, service documentation, contamination identification, and operational coordination with management and the property's existing off-site waste/recycling providers.

Jackson Multifamily Property Manager Requirement

For an apartment complex containing five or more living units, Jackson Code §106-113(b) places specific responsibilities on the owner or authorized representative.

  • Provide adequate storage containers or facilities for solid waste, subject to approval by the Director of Public Works.
  • Keep the premises clean.
  • Provide access drives or driveways adequate for solid-waste collection vehicles.
  • Maintain sufficient collection service and container conditions to avoid recurring overflow, odors, pests, loose refuse, and access problems.

For properties containing fewer than five units, owners or authorized representatives also retain responsibilities for tenant compliance with collection requirements and property cleanliness.

Hinds County Cities — Multifamily Property Manager Information

The following table separates current municipal service information from multifamily-specific property-maintenance requirements. Where a municipality does not publish sufficient current online material to support a categorical apartment recycling conclusion, the table directs management to verify the current requirements rather than assuming no requirement exists.

City / Area Waste / Recycling Structure Property Manager Information Official / Primary Resources
CITY OF JACKSON
Jackson Jackson's current residential service guidance identifies single-family homes, duplexes, and triplexes for ordinary City residential collection.

Jackson's municipal curbside recycling program remains suspended until further notice. 		5+ unit apartment communities: §106-113(b) requires adequate Public Works-approved solid-waste storage, clean premises, and collection-vehicle access.

Because the Code's residential-unit definition and current public-facing service description are not perfectly identical, a four-unit property should verify current City collection eligibility rather than assuming service.

Larger apartment communities should maintain the appropriate off-site collection arrangement and verify any City permit/licensing requirements applicable to the property's hauler. 		Chapter 106

Recycling Status
SOUTH HINDS COUNTY MUNICIPALITIES
Byram Byram participates in the regional Hinds County/WM residential collection framework, while Byram Public Works separately handles specified local bulk, furniture, white-goods, limb, and yard-waste matters. Byram's Property Maintenance Code contains direct owner/operator responsibilities relevant to multifamily properties:

• Exterior and interior premises must remain free from accumulations of rubbish or garbage.
• Owners must provide approved covered rubbish containers.
• Operators of establishments producing garbage must provide approved leakproof containers with close-fitting covers.
• Garbage/refuse containers generally must be stored behind the front building line and not visible from the street except during authorized collection periods.
• Disposal of waste on property other than a lawful dump or sanitary landfill is prohibited.

Management should verify whether a multifamily property's collection account falls within the residential contract or requires a separate commercial arrangement. 		Byram Property Maintenance Code
Hinds County Solid Waste
Terry The Town of Terry currently identifies Republic Services for regular municipal trash pickup and publishes Monday as its ordinary pickup day, subject to holiday changes. The Town's general residential pickup information should not automatically be treated as a multifamily/commercial service rule.

Apartment owners should confirm directly with the Town and Republic Services:
• whether the property participates in municipal residential service;
• dumpster/commercial service requirements;
• collection frequency;
• bulky-item procedures; and
• any zoning or screening requirements affecting the collection area. 		Terry Public Services
CENTRAL / WEST HINDS COUNTY MUNICIPALITIES
Clinton Clinton Public Works provides regular garbage and recycling pickup to City residents. Apartment operators should confirm the exact service/account structure applicable to the property. Clinton's zoning ordinance contains unusually detailed multifamily waste-area requirements. Section 409 applies to applicable new multiple-family residential development and requires permanent garbage/trash disposal enclosures.

Key provisions include:
• enclosures screening refuse containers from public view;
• site plans showing disposal-facility location and enclosure type;
• collection access and maneuvering space;
• minimum 12-foot collection-vehicle passage routes;
• minimum 12-foot clear gate openings;
• brick/masonry screening generally at least 6 feet high under the ordinance;
• clean enclosure floors free of grease, oil, and trip/slip hazards; and
• no storage of oil, grease, cleaning supplies, or other flammable/hazardous materials inside refuse enclosures.

Clinton's property-maintenance provisions also identify discarded garbage, refuse, or recyclables remaining uncollected for seven days as a prohibited property condition. 		Clinton Public Works
Clinton Zoning Ordinance — §§407 & 409
Raymond The City of Raymond currently states that Republic Services collects regular household garbage, usually on Wednesdays. Raymond's published household-service instructions should not automatically be applied to a multifamily commercial account.

Property managers should confirm:
• the apartment property's Republic account/service classification;
• dumpster capacity and pickup frequency;
• bulky-item eligibility;
• appliance handling; and
• any Planning & Zoning/site-plan requirements affecting dumpster placement or access.

Raymond's Planning & Zoning Department reviews site plans and land-use requirements, making it an appropriate contact before relocating or reconstructing a multifamily collection area. 		Raymond — Public Works & Garbage Pickup
Bolton No current town-specific multifamily recycling mandate was identified in the official online Bolton materials reviewed for this update. Property managers should verify the current municipal or private waste-service arrangement directly with Bolton Town Hall before applying Hinds County residential-cart rules.

This is particularly important because Hinds County expressly describes its standard residential contract as serving rural/unincorporated areas outside municipalities.

For apartment operations, verify commercial dumpster service, recycling availability, container placement, bulk-item procedures, property-maintenance requirements, and any local building/zoning conditions. 		Town of Bolton
Bolton Town Hall
Edwards No current online municipal source reviewed for this page established a stand-alone apartment recycling mandate for Edwards. Apartment operators should confirm the current trash and recycling service structure directly with the Town rather than assuming that Hinds County's unincorporated residential program applies inside Edwards.

Management should verify:
• authorized/off-site hauling service;
• multifamily dumpster requirements;
• recycling availability;
• bulk and move-out waste procedures;
• container placement; and
• municipal nuisance/property-maintenance requirements. 		Town of Edwards
Learned Current authoritative online municipal waste information for Learned is limited. No municipality-specific multifamily recycling mandate was identified in the sources reviewed for this page. Property managers should confirm the property's actual collection arrangement directly with the Town and contracted waste provider.

Do not assume that the Hinds County rural residential cart program automatically governs an incorporated-town multifamily property. Verify commercial service, dumpster access, recycling availability, bulk-item handling, and any local land-use requirements before modifying operations. 		Town / contracted hauler — verify current requirements directly
Utica The Town of Utica states that it contracts with Waste Management for trash collection and currently publishes once-weekly Thursday collection for Town customers. The Town's published service information is general residential guidance. A multifamily operator should separately confirm:
• whether the apartment property qualifies for Town residential service;
• whether a commercial dumpster account is required;
• recycling availability and accepted materials;
• additional-container requirements; and
• Town zoning or property-maintenance provisions. 		Utica Waste Management
UNINCORPORATED HINDS COUNTY
Unincorporated Hinds County Hinds County's Residential Garbage & Solid Waste Division oversees its contracted provider for rural areas outside incorporated municipalities. Current County guidance describes weekly automated residential garbage collection using a 96-gallon WM cart. Multifamily properties should not automatically assume they qualify for the County's standard residential-cart program.

Confirm service eligibility and any commercial/multifamily requirements with Hinds County and WM.

Current County residential guidance requires material to fit inside the provided cart with the lid closed; extra material outside the cart is not collected under the automated residential program.

County Public Works separately handles inquiries regarding qualifying bulk, furniture, white goods, limb piles, and yard waste. 		Hinds County Solid Waste

Jackson Recycling Status — Important Multifamily Distinction

Jackson's municipal curbside recycling program was suspended effective September 1, 2019 and remains listed by the City as suspended until further notice.

The City directs residents interested in recycling toward appropriately qualified private recycling haulers and available drop-off options.

For apartment operators, this means that required solid-waste collection and optional/available recycling arrangements should not be conflated. A multifamily property should use the acceptance list and service rules of its actual recycling provider.

City of Jackson — Current Curbside Recycling Status

Jackson Solid-Waste Enforcement & Property-Manager Risk

  • Different Violations Have Different Penalties: Jackson Chapter 106 contains multiple enforcement provisions. Do not apply one fine amount, daily-offense rule, or penalty structure to every waste-related violation.
  • Apartment Storage & Access: For 5+ unit apartment properties, failure to maintain adequate approved storage, clean premises, or collection access can create a direct Chapter 106 compliance issue.
  • Commercial-Service Conditions: The City can require additional containers or more frequent service when commercial-style waste conditions warrant corrective action under the applicable Chapter 106 provisions.
  • Waste Accumulation: Jackson's Code contains nuisance provisions addressing unauthorized accumulation of garbage, refuse, and trash and provides enforcement procedures after required notice.
  • Dumpster-Service Hours: Chapter 106 also regulates certain commercial dumpster servicing near residential structures, so apartment operators should consider both capacity and collection-hour restrictions when scheduling off-site hauling.
  • Documentation: Maintain collection contracts, schedules, site-condition photographs, resident notices, bulk-item records, contamination reports, and corrective-action documentation. These records document management actions but do not independently establish legal compliance or create a legal defense.

Task Property Manager Action Why It Matters Helpful Resources
☑ Confirm Exact Jurisdiction Determine whether the property is in Jackson, Byram, Clinton, Raymond, Terry, Utica, Bolton, Edwards, Learned, or unincorporated Hinds County. County residential collection rules do not automatically replace municipal rules inside incorporated cities and towns. Local City/Town Hall
Hinds County parcel/GIS records
☑ Confirm Jackson Unit Count For Jackson properties, identify whether the apartment community contains five or more living units. Jackson §106-113(b) imposes specific multifamily storage, cleanliness, and collection-access responsibilities at the 5+ unit threshold. Jackson Chapter 106
☑ Verify Collection Service Confirm whether the property receives municipal residential service, participates in a municipal contract, or requires a separate multifamily/commercial off-site hauler. Service structures differ by city and unit count. Residential cart rules may not apply to larger multifamily communities. Municipality
Contracted hauler
☑ Right-Size Containers Compare actual property waste volume with dumpster/cart capacity and pickup frequency. Increase capacity or service where recurring overflow occurs. Adequate storage and sanitary conditions are core multifamily requirements in Jackson and are reinforced by local property-maintenance rules in municipalities such as Byram. Property inspections
Hauler service records
☑ Maintain Collection Access Keep dumpster approaches, drives, gates, and vehicle maneuvering areas unobstructed. Jackson specifically requires collection-vehicle access for 5+ unit apartment complexes. Clinton also establishes detailed collection-access dimensions for applicable new development. Jackson Public Works

☑ Verify Enclosure Requirements Review the applicable zoning/site-plan requirements before relocating, rebuilding, or changing a dumpster or recycling enclosure. Enclosure requirements are jurisdiction-specific. Clinton, for example, has detailed multifamily screening, access, gate, location, and maintenance provisions. Municipal Planning / Zoning
Approved site plan
☑ Confirm Recycling Arrangement Determine whether the property has private recycling, municipal recycling, subscription recycling, or no on-site recycling service. Jackson's municipal curbside recycling remains suspended, while Clinton currently provides municipal garbage and recycling service to residents. Requirements and accepted materials therefore differ by jurisdiction. Jackson Recycling Status

National Doorstep Service Scope

National Doorstep provides on-property doorstep collection services under property ownership or authorized management approval.

Our porters move properly prepared resident-setout trash and recyclables from apartment-door set-out locations to property-designated collection points on private property.

National Doorstep operates upstream from municipal and privately contracted off-site hauling and recycling services. Doorstep collection does not replace or interfere with municipal collection, the property's off-site solid-waste hauler, recycling processor, landfill/disposal service, household-hazardous-waste provider, or other regulated waste-management service.

National Doorstep may coordinate operationally with property management and the property's existing hauling/recycling providers while maintaining these separate service roles.

Want a stronger waste and recycling operating plan for your Jackson or Hinds County property? National Doorstep can review your current doorstep workflow, container-area conditions, resident set-out procedures, recycling structure, and relevant publicly available jurisdictional requirements, then help design a resident-friendly valet trash & recycling program around the property's existing off-site hauling arrangement.
