Recycling in Carriere: A Local Guide
Carriere, in Pearl River County in southern Mississippi, has two waste and recycling facilities serving the area. The two sites serve very different purposes — one is a public scrap-metal buying yard, the other a commercial-grade landfill — so it is worth knowing which one fits your need before you haul anything over.
Pullens Recycling, at 47 Pullens Road, is a scrap-metal yard and auto-salvage operation open to the public. It buys aluminum, aluminum wheels, copper, brass, catalytic converters, lead batteries, alternators, transformers, electric motors, and junk/scrap vehicles. This is a pay-per-pound business — you are paid for what you bring, not charged a drop-off fee. Hours are posted as Monday–Friday 8:00 AM–4:00 PM and Saturday 8:00 AM–12:00 PM; call (601) 798-5138 to confirm current pricing before hauling converters or a vehicle.
WM Central Landfill, at 8800 US-11 (physically in McNeill but commonly mapped to Carriere), is a permitted commercial disposal site operated by Waste Management. It accepts municipal solid waste, construction and demolition debris, and friable and non-friable asbestos from commercial and industrial customers; it is not a public recycling drop-off for household materials. Hours are Monday–Friday 7:00 AM–4:00 PM and Saturday 7:00 AM–11:30 AM. Payment is by debit or credit card only; hard hats and safety vests are required on site. Asbestos loads require an approved WM waste profile in advance.
