RESIDENTIAL HOUSEHOLD GARBAGE
• Waste must be in garbage bags inside a receptacle with top
• Place household garbage in an approved receptacle
• Weight limit for approved receptacle is 70 pounds
• Garbage receptacles must not be placed in or on porches, patios, decks, garages, carports, or under any awning type structure
• Receptacles can be on the side, at the back of the house (50- gallon or smaller), or on the curb near the street (larger than 50- gallon)
RESIDENTIAL YARD WASTE
• Small hand piles (3 x 5 in size) can consist of yard debris, brush, bagged leaves (10 bags or less), and non-hazardous items that may be too large for garbage bags and receptacles, but less than 70 pounds. (These piles are picked up by Waste Management on garbage service days)
• Items must be placed at the curb, not in the street or ditches
BULK WASTE
• Claw trucks operate on a route, averaging one (1) pick-up per month. There are six (6) districts and eight (8) City trucks to service the City of Jackson residents.
• Large brush/debris piles; brush must be less than 8ft in length
• Most appliances can be picked up; any appliance containing Freon must have documentation on the item from a certified service repairman that says the substance was removed
• Do NOT place bulk waste near any personal property (ex. mailbox, fence, etc. ), under low utility lines, in the street or drainage ditches, at fire plugs, next to a utility pole or support cables, or in any area that would impede the vision of pedestrians or motorists
• Vehicles parked on the street can block access to piles and prevent pickup. Be sure your pile is accessible.
NON-COLLECTIBLE ITEMS
• Any waste generated by a contractor will NOT be collected (e.g. tree trimmers, general construction and carpet installation personnel). Contractors must haul the waste to the landfill. Residents should be educated about this policy in order to protect themselves from contractor scams.
• Shingles, bricks, concrete blocks, dirt, asphalt, gravel, tires and other similar items will not be picked up.
• No liquids or flammable or hazardous waste will be picked up. Household Hazardous Waste Collection Events are sponsored yearly for disposal of items of this nature.
