How Jackson handles dishwashers

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.

The Jackson rule for dishwashers: Confirm with 311; otherwise a scrap yard.

Program basics: 2 bulk items per week on the second collection day. Bulk includes furniture, mattresses, couches, TVs and radios, and toilets per the city's list. At the curb with your garbage by the morning of your second collection day, clear of carts and obstructions.

What the city will not take: Construction debris, hazardous waste, tires, and anything beyond 2 items. Large appliances with refrigerant should be confirmed with Solid Waste (311 or 601-960-1875) before set-out.

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 dishwashers are different from ordinary bulk. Dishwashers are usually replaced as part of a kitchen project, which means the old one often ends up sitting in a garage because nobody planned its exit. Because they are lighter than other appliances, two people can carry one to the curb, but the uninstall involves three connections (power, water, drain) and any of them done wrong can flood a cabinet.

Prep checklist before pickup day in Jackson

  • Turn off the breaker and verify with a tester.
  • Shut the hot water stop under the sink and disconnect the supply line over a bowl.
  • Disconnect the drain hose at the disposal or air gap and drain it into a bucket.
  • Remove the kick plate, open the junction box, and disconnect wiring, or unplug the cord.
  • Remove the mounting screws under the counter and slide the unit out onto a towel.

Three mistakes that get dishwashers left at the curb:

  • Don't pull a dishwasher without killing the breaker. Many are hardwired, and the junction box is behind the kick plate at floor level.
  • Don't yank the drain hose. It connects to the garbage disposal or an air gap under the sink; disconnect it there and drain it into a bucket.
  • Don't leave the mounting screws in the counter. They can crack a laminate top when the new unit slides in.

Paid options are rarely needed for a dishwasher alone, but they make sense when it is part of a larger kitchen cleanout or when nobody is available to carry it.

Self-haul to a transfer station

Free to $20

A dishwasher fits in most SUVs with the seats down. County transfer stations accept it as an appliance or bulky item, sometimes with a small fee.

Lay a tarp down. Even a drained dishwasher drips from the sump for a day.
