Jackson Trash Pickup Schedule Lookup — How Your Twice-Weekly Collection Works
The most important thing about the Jackson trash pickup schedule garbage collection system is that regular residential garbage is collected twice per week for eligible residential properties. The City’s official schedule page says this applies to citizens who live in single-family homes, duplexes and triplexes.
First collection day
The first weekly collection day is for household garbage only. This is the day to put out normal bagged household trash in your container, not bulky furniture, tires, appliances or construction debris.
Second collection day
The second weekly collection day includes household garbage plus up to two bulk items and bagged leaves. This is the day most residents should plan around for small bulk and leaf set-out.
Need your exact route day? Use the official schedule page and, if still unclear, call Richard’s Disposal or use Jackson 311 for the service address.
Official Garbage ScheduleNew resident note: The City says garbage collection services begin when water/sewer services are established. Water Service Business Administration is located at 1000 Metrocenter Drive, Jackson, MS 39209.

Jackson Garbage Set-Out Rules — Time, Containers, Bulk Piles and Curb Placement
Jackson’s Solid Waste Division page says residential collection is provided from 7:00 AM to 9:00 PM, Monday through Saturday. Place trash bins roadside before 7:00 AM on your pickup day, but no earlier than 6:00 PM the evening before your scheduled collection.
Do this
- Place bins roadside before 7:00 AM on pickup day.
- Do not place regular bins out earlier than 6:00 PM the evening before pickup.
- Put household garbage in bags and then in trash containers.
- Keep containers clean with mild, phosphate-free soap and water.
- Allow crews until 9:00 PM before assuming the route was missed.
Avoid this
- Do not put chemicals, paints, oils or hazardous waste in regular garbage.
- Do not put construction debris such as concrete, sand, brick, rock, carpet or wood in normal pickup.
- Do not put recyclable items in household garbage if you are using a separate private recycling option.
- Do not place bulk piles more than 24 hours before scheduled collection.
- Do not block the street, sidewalk, drainage area or right-of-way.
Do not report too early: The official page says the waste collector has from 7:00 AM to 9:00 PM to collect trash. If your whole street is still waiting, the route may not be complete.
Jackson Bulk Trash Pickup — Furniture, Mattresses, TVs, Toilets, Appliances and Bagged Leaves
The City’s garbage schedule says the second collection day includes household garbage, two bulk items and bagged leaves. The SWEEP page also says residents can place two bulk items at curbside every second collection day.
Common bulk items listed by the City
- Furniture.
- Mattresses and box springs.
- Radios.
- Televisions.
- Couches and sofas.
- Toilets.
- Microwaves and stoves, where listed under SWEEP guidance.

Appliance pickup
Jackson’s SWEEP page says residents can recycle metal appliances by calling to schedule curbside collection at no charge. Appliances include refrigerators, freezers, air conditioners, hot water heaters, stoves, washers and dryers.
Call by Tuesday before the listed cutoff for Wednesday appliance collection, or use the City of Jackson Rubbish Landfill drop-off option.
Bulk timing: Place your bulk pile roadside before 7:00 AM on pickup day, but no earlier than 24 hours before scheduled collection. This helps prevent illegal dumping, code complaints and scattered debris.
Jackson Holiday Garbage Schedule 2026 — Five Holidays That Can Shift Pickup
The City says regular collection for trash and recyclables during holidays will not change unless your collection day falls on or after one of five holidays. If your normal collection day falls on or after one of the listed holidays, your garbage is collected on the following collection day.
| Holiday | 2026 Date | Resident Action |
|---|---|---|
| New Year’s Day | January 1, 2026 | If your pickup falls on or after the holiday, expect collection on the following collection day. |
| Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s Birthday | January 19, 2026 | Check whether your scheduled route falls on or after the holiday. |
| The Fourth of July | July 4, 2026 | Because this is Saturday in 2026, verify whether your specific route is affected before setting out. |
| Thanksgiving Day | November 26, 2026 | Thursday and later routes are most likely to need attention. |
| Christmas Day | December 25, 2026 | Verify year-end service notes if your route falls on or after the holiday. |
Simple rule: Jackson does not list every federal holiday as a trash delay trigger. The official page names five holidays. Always use the city page or 311 for current holiday-week routing.
