Jackson Waste Collection — Quick Facts
The City of Jackson Public Works Solid Waste Division provides residential garbage collection twice per week for single-family homes, duplexes, and triplexes. All garbage must be bagged and placed in a container before curbside set-out. Jackson suspended its curbside recycling program in 2019; recycling is available through private haulers and drop-off options.
