A clear count. An exact price.

Count the bags and boxes, not everything inside.

A few simple choices turn a mixed pile into a clear booking. No need to estimate how much of a truck it might fill.

Filled bags and boxes

Count each trash bag or filled household box. Books and media go by the box. Clothes, bedding and shoes go by the filled bag. Toys packed together have a Box of toys choice. Ask us about unusually heavy or oversized bags and boxes first.

Empty cardboard and containers

Empty cardboard is a different choice: choose single empty boxes or tied bundles of 10 flattened boxes. Compacted bales have their own weight-based choices and require loading-dock access. A Storage bin choice covers the empty bin itself; ask us to confirm the contents if they are going too.

Furniture and other larger items

Add the actual larger item alongside your bags and boxes, such as a sofa, chair or mattress. It has its own price and preparation. Keep construction materials and items needing special handling out of ordinary household bags.

Weekly garbage carts and the monthly charge

Accepted with preparation

The city collects bagged household garbage in its own cart each week and bills the service on the utility account, with the first cart at twenty dollars a month and each additional cart at eleven dollars and thirty five cents.

City cost & eligibility
$20 per month for the first trash cart, with each additional trash cart at $11.35 a month and the recycling cart at $12.61 a month. City of Southaven sanitation customers, billed monthly on the utility account. A second trash container adds $11.35 a month to the water bill.
When & how
Once a week on the route day for the address, with the cart at the curb by 6:00 A.M. Service is suspended on the listed holidays, and residents on the Wednesday, Thursday or Friday routes may see a day change that week.
Get it ready
Bag the garbage and keep it inside the cart, close the lid rather than overloading, and place the cart at least 5 feet from any obstruction with the lid opening toward the street and the handle toward the home. Household garbage left outside the cart is not collected, and oil, gas, paint, warm ashes and other hazardous material never go in the cart.
Public Works and facilities FAQ with the monthly cart chargesSanitation guidelines with set-out rules, the rubbish truck and the county drop-offsSolid waste and rubbish collection reminders and the weekly volume limit

Rubbish truck and the weekly volume limit

Accepted with preparation

A second truck runs every route for boxes, limbs, bagged grass clippings, appliances and miscellaneous debris, and crews collect no more than six cubic yards of rubbish a week.

City cost & eligibility
The rubbish service is part of the sanitation account and the city publishes no separate charge for it, so confirm the current terms and any extra cost with Public Works at 662-796-2489, option 1.
When & how
The additional truck runs on the same weekly route as the cart, and a pile larger than the weekly limit may take several trips over several days to clear.
Get it ready
Keep the pile at least 5 feet from the cart and from any other obstruction. Limbs and tree cuttings have to be no longer than 4 to 5 feet and no more than 12 inches in diameter, and leaves have to be bagged before they go to the curb.
Sanitation guidelines with set-out rules, the rubbish truck and the county drop-offsSolid waste and rubbish collection reminders and the weekly volume limit

Couches and household furniture

Special rules apply

The city does not name furniture, so a couch has to be confirmed as miscellaneous debris for the second truck rather than assumed.

City cost & eligibility
No furniture charge is published because no furniture category is published, so call Public Works at 662-796-2489, option 1 and confirm that the piece goes with the rubbish truck.
When & how
Put the piece out with the rubbish on the route day once the city confirms it will be collected, and keep it within the weekly six cubic yard limit.
Get it ready
Keep the piece at least 5 feet from the cart and clear of mailboxes, poles and driveways, and take cushions and loose parts off so the crew can handle the frame. Anything still usable is better donated than left at the curb.
Sanitation guidelines with set-out rules, the rubbish truck and the county drop-offsSolid waste and rubbish collection reminders and the weekly volume limit

Mattresses and box springs

Special rules apply

A mattress appears in no city category, so the rubbish truck is the likely route but the item has to be confirmed inside the weekly volume limit.

City cost & eligibility
The city publishes no mattress category or charge, so confirm with Public Works at 662-796-2489, option 1 that the mattress goes out as miscellaneous debris and whether it counts against the weekly limit.
When & how
Once the city confirms the collection, put the mattress out with the rubbish on the route day and keep it clear of the cart and other obstructions.
Get it ready
Keep the mattress dry and whole and at least 5 feet from the cart, and wrap or bag it if the weather is wet. Because no mattress rule is published, do not put it out without confirming the collection first.
Sanitation guidelines with set-out rules, the rubbish truck and the county drop-offsSolid waste and rubbish collection reminders and the weekly volume limit

Appliances and white goods

Accepted with preparation

The city's sanitation guidelines name appliances among the material the additional truck collects on every route.

City cost & eligibility
The appliance collection rides on the sanitation account and the city publishes no separate charge, so confirm the current terms with Public Works at 662-796-2489, option 1.
When & how
Put the appliance out with the rubbish on the route day and keep it at least 5 feet from the cart or any other obstruction.
Get it ready
Empty the appliance and keep the doors secured, and leave any refrigerant work to whoever handles the unit. Keep the appliance out of the garbage cart, because only bagged household garbage goes inside it.
Sanitation guidelines with set-out rules, the rubbish truck and the county drop-offs

Televisions, computers and electronics

Accepted with preparation

The city directs electronics to the DeSoto County rubbish pit on West Sandidge Road in Olive Branch rather than to the curb.

City cost & eligibility
Neither the city nor the county page retained here publishes a charge or a set of hours for the electronics drop-off, so confirm the accepted items, the hours and any fee with DeSoto County or Public Works on 662-796-2489, option 1.
When & how
Take the devices to the County Rubbish Pit at 5255 W. Sandidge Road in Olive Branch after confirming its hours, and keep electronics out of the curbside cart.
Get it ready
Wipe personal data from computers, tablets and phones before handover, remove loose batteries where they can come out, and keep the devices out of the garbage cart and the recycling cart alike.

Construction and renovation debris

Special rules apply

Minor renovation debris may go on the curb for pickup, while a larger scale renovation requires a construction dumpster or self removal, and contractor-generated material is the owner's responsibility.

City cost & eligibility
The city publishes no construction rate, and the route depends on the scale of the work and on whether a contractor generated the material, so confirm the arrangement with Public Works at 662-796-2489, option 1 or with a private hauler before the work starts.
When & how
Keep a minor load on the curb with the rest of the rubbish, and order a dumpster or arrange self removal before a larger project begins.
Get it ready
Keep the material inside the weekly six cubic yard limit for a minor load, bag or contain loose debris, and remember that anything a tree crew, general contractor or other professional cuts, trims or removes has to be removed by the owner within seven days under Ordinance 7-15.

Exercise equipment

Special rules apply

Exercise equipment is not named by the city, so a machine has to be confirmed as miscellaneous debris before it goes to the curb.

City cost & eligibility
No exercise equipment category or charge is published, so confirm with Public Works at 662-796-2489, option 1 that the machine goes out with the rubbish truck.
When & how
Once it is confirmed, put the machine out with the rubbish on the route day and keep it inside the weekly six cubic yard limit.
Get it ready
Take the machine down where it allows and keep the loose weights with it, and keep the frame at least 5 feet from the cart. Remove any battery pack so it does not go in the cart or the recycling container.
Sanitation guidelines with set-out rules, the rubbish truck and the county drop-offsSolid waste and rubbish collection reminders and the weekly volume limit

Curbside recycling cart

Accepted with preparation

The city collects a recycling cart on the household route and asks residents to place only Type 1 and Type 2 plastics in it.

City cost & eligibility
$12.61 per month for the recycling cart. City of Southaven sanitation customers, billed monthly on the utility account.
When & how
Collected on the same weekly route as the garbage cart, with the same cart placement rules.
Get it ready
Place only Type 1 and Type 2 plastics in the recycling cart, because other plastics are treated as contamination and can cause the load to be rejected at the local processing facility. Keep garbage, yard waste and hazardous material out of the recycling cart.

The handoff matters

Right item.
Right place.

Bag it, close the lid and face the lid to the street

Bag the garbage and keep it inside the cart, close the lid rather than overloading, and put the cart at the curb by 6:00 A.M. on the pickup day and at least 5 feet from any obstruction, with the lid opening toward the street and the handle toward the home. Household garbage outside the cart is not collected, and a damaged cart or a missed collection is reported to 662-796-2489, option 1.

The second truck takes the rubbish, six cubic yards a week

An additional truck runs every route to collect boxes, limbs, bagged grass clippings, appliances and miscellaneous debris, kept at least 5 feet from the cart or any other obstruction. Crews collect six cubic yards of rubbish a week, so a larger pile may take several trips over several days. Limbs and tree cuttings must be no longer than 4 to 5 feet and no more than 12 inches in diameter, and leaves must be bagged.

Work a contractor does is not the city's rubbish

Under City Ordinance 7-15, in place since June 20, 2023, the city does not collect trees or similar items cut, trimmed or removed as part of non-routine maintenance or by any professional, third party or contractor, and the owner has to remove that material within seven days of the work being finished. Minor renovation debris may still go on the curb, but a larger scale renovation requires a construction dumpster or self removal.

Three streams leave the curb for the county

Used car tires go to the DeSoto County Maintenance Shop at 2339 Gwynn Road, electronics go to the County Rubbish Pit at 5255 W. Sandidge Road in Olive Branch, and household hazardous waste goes through DeSoto County's annual collection day. Oil, gas, paint, warm ashes and other hazardous material never go in the cart, and the county numbers are (662) 469-8152 for the collection day and 662-469-8023 for environmental services.

Use the city rubbish truck for a large item

A Southaven household with furniture, a mattress, an appliance, exercise equipment or another large item that does not fit in the cart.

Cost & conditions
The rubbish service rides on the sanitation account and the city publishes no item charge, so confirm the item and the current terms with Public Works at 662-796-2489, option 1.
Arrange it
Call Public Works to confirm the item, then put it at the curb with the rubbish on the route day, at least 5 feet from the cart and other obstructions.

Crews collect six cubic yards of rubbish a week, so a large load may be spread over more than one week, and anything a contractor cut, trimmed or removed is the owner's responsibility rather than the city's.

Taking it somewhere yourself?

Self haul in Southaven splits between the city and the county. The city's rubbish truck runs every route for boxes, limbs, bagged grass clippings, appliances and miscellaneous debris, with six cubic yards a week, limbs no longer than 4 to 5 feet and 12 inches in diameter, and bagged leaves, and it keeps to the same 6:00 A.M. curbside rules as the cart. Anything a contractor or tree crew cuts, trims or removes has to be removed by the owner within seven days under Ordinance 7-15, and minor renovation debris may go on the curb while a larger project needs a dumpster or self removal. Three streams leave the curb for DeSoto County: used car tires go to the County Maintenance Shop at 2339 Gwynn Road, electronics go to the County Rubbish Pit at 5255 W. Sandidge Road in Olive Branch, and household hazardous waste such as oil, gas, paint and warm ashes goes through the county's annual collection day, reached on (662) 469-8152, with the county environmental services office on 662-469-8023. The city publishes no hours, item lists or charges for the county drop-offs, so confirm each trip first, and the recycling cart takes only Type 1 and Type 2 plastics because other plastics contaminate the load at the local processing facility.

Book by 2pm in the pickup address’s local time for same-day pickup. Available dates appear at checkout. Have the booked bags and boxes outside and accessible according to your confirmation.

Can I book bags, boxes and furniture together?
