City collection Discarded furniture is the first category in the City's bulk waste definition, and each property gets twelve scheduled bulk pickups a year inside the monthly collection fee. No charge. Twelve bulk pickups a year are included in the monthly municipal collection fee for occupied one and two family units, in any combination of bulk waste and bulk yard waste. Vacant property pickups are subject to fees representing the City's cost, and a second rolling cart carries its own fee.
City collection The City defines bulk waste by weight and size rather than by a named list, so a mattress qualifies as an item over fifty pounds or larger than a ninety to ninety-six gallon cart, but the piece should be confirmed when the pickup is scheduled. No charge. The pickup is included in the twelve bulk pickups a year that come with the monthly municipal collection fee for an occupied one or two family unit. Vacant property pickups are billed at the City's cost.
City collection Appliances are bulk waste in Jackson only with their compressors removed, which the City states directly in the bulk waste definition. No charge. An eligible appliance counts against the twelve bulk pickups a year included in the monthly municipal collection fee for an occupied one or two family unit. An appliance with the compressor still in place does not meet the published definition.
City collection Jackson includes twelve scheduled bulk pickups a year for one and two family units, counted in any combination of household bulk waste and bulk yard waste. No charge. Twelve pickups a year are included in the monthly municipal collection fee for an occupied one or two family unit that pays the fee. Vacant property pickups are subject to fees representing the City's cost.

The local disposal guide
Will the city take it?
Jackson picks up household waste twice a week with a city cart and adds twelve residential bulk waste pickups a year, in any combination with bulk yard waste, inside the monthly municipal collection fee. Bulk waste is defined by size rather than by a named list: discarded furniture, appliances with the compressors removed, large machines and similar household items over fifty pounds or larger than a ninety to ninety-six gallon cart, all scheduled in advance with the Department of Health and Sanitation and limited to a load five feet high by eight feet long by five feet wide. Construction and contractor debris is not eligible, so those loads go to the privately owned Madison County Landfill or to one of the roll-off companies the City lists, and household hazardous waste is only collected at the City's annual collection events.
Discarded furniture is the first category in the City's bulk waste definition, and each property gets twelve scheduled bulk pickups a year inside the monthly collection fee.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Twelve bulk pickups a year are included in the monthly municipal collection fee for occupied one and two family units, in any combination of bulk waste and bulk yard waste. Vacant property pickups are subject to fees representing the City's cost, and a second rolling cart carries its own fee.
When & how
Schedule the pickup in advance with the Department of Health and Sanitation at 731-425-8545, then set the furniture out no more than forty-eight hours before the pickup day.
Get it ready
Keep the load inside the maximum size of five feet high by eight feet long by five feet wide, keep household refuse and yard waste in separate pickups, and keep the pile away from the cart and any obstruction so the crew can reach it.
The City defines bulk waste by weight and size rather than by a named list, so a mattress qualifies as an item over fifty pounds or larger than a ninety to ninety-six gallon cart, but the piece should be confirmed when the pickup is scheduled.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. The pickup is included in the twelve bulk pickups a year that come with the monthly municipal collection fee for an occupied one or two family unit. Vacant property pickups are billed at the City's cost.
When & how
Call the Department of Health and Sanitation at 731-425-8545 to schedule the pickup, and keep the mattress off the curb until forty-eight hours before the pickup day.
Get it ready
Keep the mattress dry and out of a yard waste pile, because bulk waste and bulk yard waste cannot be combined in one pickup and household refuse cannot be mixed into a bulk load either.
Appliances are bulk waste in Jackson only with their compressors removed, which the City states directly in the bulk waste definition.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. An eligible appliance counts against the twelve bulk pickups a year included in the monthly municipal collection fee for an occupied one or two family unit. An appliance with the compressor still in place does not meet the published definition.
When & how
Arrange the compressor work first, then call 731-425-8545 to schedule the pickup and set the unit out within forty-eight hours of the pickup day.
Get it ready
Have the compressor removed before the appliance is set out, because the City lists appliances with compressors removed as the eligible form. Confirm with Health and Sanitation who may perform that work and whether any documentation is expected, then keep the unit inside the five foot by eight foot by five foot load limit.
The City does not name electronics in its bulk waste list or its recycling list, so a television or computer has to be confirmed before it goes to the curb.
City cost & eligibility
No city page read here names electronics or publishes a disposal rate for them. A large set may qualify under the bulk size and weight test, the Madison County Landfill takes debris loads on its own terms, and hazardous electronic waste can wait for the City's annual household hazardous waste collection event. Confirm the route with Health and Sanitation at 731-425-8545 and the load cost with the landfill.
When & how
Call 731-425-8545 to ask whether the item qualifies as bulk waste, or contact the landfill about a self haul load.
Get it ready
Keep electronics out of the recycling center bin system, which accepts only cardboard, paper, metals and plastics numbered one and two, and keep any hazardous components out of the cart, because no liquids, flammable or hazardous waste is collected.
Construction debris and any waste generated by a contractor working for profit are expressly outside the City's bulk waste program.
City cost & eligibility
Construction debris is not eligible as residential bulk waste. Contractors haul their own waste, and the routes are the privately owned Madison County Landfill at 550 Aaron Long Road, which sets its own disposal costs on inquiry, or one of the roll-off and debris removal companies the City lists for residents and contractors.
When & how
Contact the landfill for a self haul, or book a temporary roll-off container through one of the companies on the City's resource list.
Get it ready
Keep construction material out of the bulk pile entirely, because the City states that contractor generated waste and construction debris are not eligible, and keep liquids, flammable material and hazardous waste out of the load since the landfill is privately run and its access rules include hard hats and safety vests for every visitor.
Jackson includes twelve scheduled bulk pickups a year for one and two family units, counted in any combination of household bulk waste and bulk yard waste.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Twelve pickups a year are included in the monthly municipal collection fee for an occupied one or two family unit that pays the fee. Vacant property pickups are subject to fees representing the City's cost.
When & how
Schedule every pickup in advance with the Department of Health and Sanitation. Bulk waste goes out no more than forty-eight hours early, yard waste no more than seven days early, and the whole load must fit within five feet high, eight feet long and five feet wide.
Get it ready
Keep bulk waste and yard waste in separate pickups, keep household refuse out of both, cut yard waste limbs to eight feet or less and twelve inches or less in diameter, and note that the regular weekly service handles anything that fits the cart or a hand pile of three feet high by five feet long by three feet wide, or ten bags of fifty pounds or less.
The City's bulk definition names large machines without saying which machines it means, so a treadmill or weight machine should be confirmed rather than assumed.
City cost & eligibility
If the machine is accepted it counts against the twelve bulk pickups a year included in the monthly collection fee, but the City does not name exercise equipment and publishes no rate for anything outside the program. Confirm the item with Health and Sanitation at 731-425-8545 before it is set out.
When & how
Call 731-425-8545 to confirm the machine, then schedule the pickup and set it out within forty-eight hours of the pickup day.
Get it ready
Break the machine down where the maker allows it and keep the pieces inside the five foot by eight foot by five foot load limit. Describe the weight and size when calling, because the bulk definition is a weight and volume test rather than a named list.
Every bulk waste or bulk yard waste pickup has to be pre-scheduled with the Department of Health and Sanitation at 731-425-8545. Bulk waste may sit at the curb no more than forty-eight hours before the pickup, yard waste no more than seven days, and the load must fit inside five feet high by eight feet long by five feet wide.
Residents get two collection days a week on either a Monday and Thursday or a Tuesday and Friday route, with the cart at the curb by 7 a.m. Anything that fits the cart, or a hand pile of three feet high by five feet long by three feet wide, or ten bags of fifty pounds each, is handled on the regular route rather than as a bulk pickup.
No liquids, flammable material or hazardous waste is picked up, and those items are held for the City's annual household hazardous waste collection events. The department answers questions about those events at 731-425-8545.
Household refuse cannot be mixed into a bulk load, bulk waste and bulk yard waste cannot share one pickup, and construction debris or contractor waste is never part of the program at all. Mixed loads risk being left behind.
The Jackson Recycling Center at 74B Conalco Drive takes cardboard and paperboard broken down, mixed paper, metals and plastics numbered one and two, with black plastics refused. Residents sort their own material, attendants check for contamination, and the center is free to residents.
Use a permitted, accessible outdoor spot. Arrange the move out of your home, keep shared access clear and follow your confirmation’s readiness instructions. Check with your building about access or staging limits before booking.
City of Jackson Department of Health and Sanitation
City collection with the monthly fee
Occupied one and two family homes inside Jackson that pay the municipal collection fee.
Cost & conditions
No charge. One rolling cart of 90 to 96 gallons and twice weekly collection are included in the monthly municipal collection fee, and twelve bulk pickups a year ride along with it. A second cart carries a fee, and vacant property pickups are billed at the City's cost.
Arrange it
Use the City cart, put it at the curb by 7 a.m. on the route day, and call 731-425-8545 for carts, missed collections or hardship service.
Only the City cart may be used, because the trucks are built for it, and material outside the cart is collected only when it fits a hand pile or a scheduled bulk pickup.

Jackson Recycling Center drop-off
Residents with cardboard, paper, metals or plastics numbered one and two.
Cost & conditions
No charge. Free to residents at the supervised center on Conalco Drive, open Tuesday through Friday and Saturday with a midday closure each day.
Arrange it
Drive to 74B Conalco Drive and sort material into the categorized bins, where an attendant is available to explain what is accepted.
Only the published streams are taken, material has to be sorted by the resident, and black plastics are refused along with anything the attendant identifies as contamination.
Households and contractors with construction debris, mixed debris or a load the City will not collect.
Cost & conditions
The landfill is privately owned and publishes no rate on the city pages, so disposal costs are quoted on inquiry. The City directs debris there and tells visitors that hard hats and safety vests are required on the property.
Arrange it
Contact the landfill at 550 Aaron Long Road before hauling, confirm the accepted material and cost, and arrive with the required safety equipment.
Contractors are responsible for hauling their own waste, and the City's bulk program does not take construction or contractor debris at all.
Households and contractors that want a container or a crew instead of hauling a load themselves.
Cost & conditions
The companies on the City's resource list set their own container and hauling prices, so confirm the container size, the rental period and the disposal terms directly with the company.
Arrange it
Choose a company from the City's bulk debris and roll-off resource list, confirm the delivery date and placement, then schedule the removal.
These are private services rather than City programs, and the receiving landfill still sets the disposal terms for the load.
Jackson households that haul their own loads have two published destinations. The Jackson Recycling Center at 74B Conalco Drive takes cardboard, paper, metals and plastics numbered one and two free of charge and is open five days a week with a midday closure. Everything else, including construction and contractor debris, goes to the privately owned Madison County Landfill at 550 Aaron Long Road, which sets its own disposal costs and requires hard hats and safety vests on the property. Household hazardous waste is not accepted at either place and waits for the City's annual household hazardous waste collection events, and liquids, flammable material and hazardous waste are never collected at the curb.

The landfill is privately owned and sets its own access and disposal terms. Visitors must wear hard hats and safety vests while on the property, and contractors remain responsible for hauling their own waste there.
Hours are set by the landfill rather than the City, so confirm the current operating hours along with the disposal cost before hauling.
No rate is published on the city pages because the landfill is privately owned and answers disposal inquiries itself, so confirm the load cost and any access requirements before the trip.

Yes. Bulk waste pickups have to be pre-scheduled with the Department of Health and Sanitation, and the item may not go to the curb more than forty-eight hours before the scheduled day. Twelve pickups a year are included in the monthly collection fee.Official guidance
Is a mattress specifically listed as Jackson bulk waste?+
No, the City defines bulk waste as discarded furniture, appliances with compressors removed, large machines and similar items over fifty pounds or larger than a ninety to ninety-six gallon cart, so a mattress fits the test rather than the named list. Confirm the piece with Health and Sanitation at 731-425-8545 when the pickup is scheduled.Official guidance
Can a refrigerator go out with the compressor still in it?+
No. The City lists appliances with compressors removed as residential bulk waste, so the compressor work has to be arranged first and the pickup scheduled afterward with Health and Sanitation at 731-425-8545.Official guidance
Where does a Jackson television go?+
The City does not publish an electronics rule, so confirm with Health and Sanitation at 731-425-8545 whether the set qualifies as bulk waste under the size and weight test. The recycling center only takes cardboard, paper, metals and plastics numbered one and two, and the annual household hazardous waste event takes the hazardous items.Official guidance
What does Jackson charge for a bulk pickup?+
Twelve bulk pickups a year are included in the monthly municipal collection fee for an occupied one or two family unit, counted in any combination of bulky household waste and bulk yard waste, with the load limited to five feet high by eight feet long by five feet wide.

Who do Jackson residents call about garbage and bulk waste?+

What will Jackson never collect at the curb?+
Liquids, flammable material and hazardous waste are never picked up, construction debris and waste generated by contractors working for profit are excluded from bulk waste, and appliances only qualify once the compressor has been removed.
