Jackson, MS provides solid waste services through the city Public Works Department, including curbside trash, recycling, and (separately scheduled) bulk item collection. Mississippi’s solid waste regulations are administered by the Mississippi Department of Environmental Quality (MDEQ) under the Mississippi Nonhazardous Solid Waste Management Regulations. This guide covers every legitimate disposal option for Jackson residents, free city services, donation programs, retailer haul-away, MDEQ-permitted self-haul facilities, and paid pickup when needed.

How we checked this. The rules on this page were verified in October 2026 against: City of Jackson: Garbage Collection (bulk items on second collection day). Programs change; confirm fees and limits before you go.
Why bed frames and box springs are different from ordinary bulk. The frame problem is mostly logistical: beds come apart into pieces, and bulk programs differ on whether a disassembled bed is one item or five. Some count the bundle as one if it is tied together; some count each piece. Metal frames can be folded flat and tied.
Three mistakes that get bed frames and box springs left at the curb:
Paid options cover box springs in states where free drop-offs are inconvenient and large platform or storage beds that need breaking down.
Self-haul to a transfer station or mattress recycler
Free to $25 per pieceBox springs are accepted at transfer stations for a per-piece fee in most areas and free at state program drop-offs in CA, CT, and RI. Disassembled frames fit in a car.
Tie box springs to a roof rack only if you must; they catch wind.

How much does paid bed frame removal cost in Jackson?
Through the LoadUp marketplace, a single bed frame or box spring pickup in Jackson starts around $80 to $100 with upfront pricing, and full-truck loads run $300 to $600 depending on volume.

Independent loaders in the marketplace handle loading, pickup, and licensed disposal. Donation routing for usable items where possible.
Can I put a bed frame out for bulk pickup?
Yes in nearly every city. Disassemble it and tie the pieces together so the bundle counts as one item. Metal frames can also be folded and taken to a scrap yard free.
Is a box spring treated like a mattress?
In most cities, yes. Box springs follow the same bulk pickup rules as mattresses, including plastic wrapping where required and separate appointments in some cities. In Massachusetts, California, Connecticut, and Rhode Island, box springs are covered by state mattress laws.
Which states have mattress and box spring laws?
California, Connecticut, and Rhode Island run Bye Bye Mattress recycling programs funded by a fee on new purchases, with free drop-off sites. Massachusetts banned mattresses and box springs from disposal in November 2022 and requires recycling. Oregon has enacted a program as well.
Can I donate a box spring?
Rarely on its own. Most programs only accept a box spring paired with a clean, like-new mattress. Metal frames in good condition and complete wood frames are much easier to donate.
Is this Jackson page maintained?
Yes. Freemoval maintains this page as a public resource alongside the full Jackson guide. We update it when programs change rules, fees, or contact methods. Last updated October 2026. If you find outdated information, let us know.
