Mandatory Trash Pickup
Citizens who wish to haul their own trash can register at the transfer station as a self-disposer. However they are required to visit the transfer station at least once a month and pay their bill. The first visit will require them to pay $12.00. They will be allowed up to 300 pounds per month.
A ledger is kept at the transfer station where their weight is logged. For example if you visit the transfer station the first of the month and dispose of 100 pounds of trash you will have the remainder of the month to dispose of an additional 200 pounds of trash at no additional cost. At the end of the month if you go over the 300 pounds you will be charged an additional .04 cents per pound.
We also have a program where residents who have metal appliances such as refrigerators, washers, dryers, hot water heaters, stoves, etc. can call the transfer station to have these items picked up at no charge provided they are placed on the right of way of a county or state road and are free of trash.
We have (4) four permitted haulers serving Jackson County residents in different assigned areas. You can call the transfer station to find out which hauler is assigned to your area.
It is illegal to burn trash in Jackson County and can result in a fine.
