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.

Couches and household furniture

Accepted with preparation

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.
Residential bulk waste and bulk yard waste definitions, scheduling rules and load limitsHealth and Sanitation collection rules, cart service, hand pile limits, contacts and landfill routing

Mattresses and box springs

Special rules apply

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, refrigerators and air conditioners

Special rules apply

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.

Bulk waste and yard waste pickups

Accepted with preparation

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 handoff matters

Right item.
Right place.

Bulk pickups are scheduled, not automatic

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.

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.

See the recycling center rules

With a new purchase

Self haul to the Madison County Landfill

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.

See the landfill routing

Taking it somewhere yourself?

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.

Privately owned landfill

Madison County Landfill

550 Aaron Long Road, Jackson, TN 38301

Debris and waste that the City will not collect, including construction and contractor material brought in by the party that generated it.

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.

Before you book

A few things
worth knowing.

Bulk junk removal, from choosing your item to pickup day in Jackson.

How much does bulk junk removal cost in Jackson?

A trash bag is $59 as the first item and $10 additional. A filled household box is $59 as the first item. Add your actual items and quantities to see the combined price before booking. Loading, transportation and disposal are included; any applicable sales tax is shown before payment.

Can you pick up bags of junk today?

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. You receive pickup updates and completion photos; the booking is for a day rather than an exact arrival time.

Do I count every object inside a bag or box?

No. Count the filled bags or boxes using the matching choice. Books and media go in Filled household box; clothes, bedding and shoes go in Bag of clothes & bedding; packed toys have a Box of toys choice. Empty cardboard is separate, with individual empty boxes and bundles of 10 flattened boxes. Heavy, oversized or unusual contents need a photo review before booking.

Can you pick up a small loose pile of household junk?

Yes. Estimate how many trash bags the small household pile would fill, and bag or box as much as possible. Select furniture and other larger items separately. There is no extra charge just because the pile is loose. Send a photo first if the count or contents are unclear. A household Dumpster Bag choice does not accept construction debris.

Can I book bags, boxes and furniture together?

Yes. Select the bags and boxes, then add each larger item using its own catalog choice. The booking shows one combined price for the selected items. Move everything to an accessible outdoor spot before pickup; indoor carrying and sorting are not included. Keep anything you want to retain apart from the booked items and identify what goes in your photos and notes.

Does a Jackson bulk pickup need an appointment?

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

How many bulky pickups come with Jackson service?

Twelve a year for occupied one and two family units, counted in any combination of residential bulk waste and residential bulk yard waste, and included in the monthly municipal collection fee. Each pickup has to be scheduled with the Department of Health and Sanitation.Official guidance

How large can a Jackson bulk load be?

The maximum load is five feet high, eight feet long and five feet wide. Bulk waste and yard waste cannot be combined, household refuse cannot be mixed in, and contractor or construction debris is never eligible.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. A second rolling cart carries a fee, and vacant property pickups are billed at the City's cost.Official guidance

Who do Jackson residents call about garbage and bulk waste?

The Department of Health and Sanitation at 731-425-8545, by email, or through the city Connect app. The same office schedules bulk pickups, takes cart requests including a second cart for a fee, and answers questions about the yearly household hazardous waste collection events.Official guidance

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. Household hazardous waste is handled at the City's annual collection events instead.Official guidance
