Recycling Centers in Jackson, MS

Recycling in Jackson: A Local Guide

Jackson has 14 recycling centers listed in this directory, a mix of scrap-metal processors, auto salvage yards, can-buyback sites and electronics handlers. The City of Jackson suspended its municipal curbside recycling program on September 1, 2019, and it has not resumed, so there is no citywide blue-bin pickup; the Public Works Department Solid Waste Division now points residents toward private haulers and drop-off sites instead. Because there is no city-run curbside option, the independent centers below carry most of the recycling load in the capital. For options elsewhere in the state, browse the full Mississippi recycling directory.

The centers here are concentrated around scrap metal and cardboard/paper. Magnolia Recycling is a public drop-off that takes cardboard, paper and scrap metal, while buyers such as Metal Processors and Tri-Miss Recycling focus on metal. For aluminum cans, Cash For Cans and The Can Man pay by weight, and for end-of-life vehicles Pull-A-Part runs a self-service auto yard. Accepted grades, pricing and hours vary, so check each center's page and call ahead.

If a Jackson center does not fit, other Mississippi cities in this directory may help. On the Gulf Coast, Gulfport has seven listings, and east toward Alabama Meridian has five. Closer to the capital, Flowood and Vicksburg each list four centers, as does Hattiesburg to the south. You can also return to the statewide Mississippi hub to search by town.
