Home → Trash Schedule
It is our desire to provide the highest quality and most efficient service to our citizens. On August 9, 2010, we will implement a city-wide automated garbage system. Every household has been provided with two easy-to- handle, 95-gallon cans to store and move waste. It is through this uniformed system that we will be enhancing our community’s appearance and providing one of the safest, most convenient and effective methods available for the collection of refuse.
Cans should be placed at the curb after 6:00 p.m. the night prior to garbage collection and should be removed no later than midnight the day of. When you place your can on the curb to be picked up, do not put a can in an alley, by a telephone pole, fire hydrant, parked car, or mailbox.
It is important that you place the appropriate trash and garbage in the correct can, or the City will not be able to collect your garbage.
The GREEN can is for collection of household garbage.
The BROWN can is for collection of up yard trash.
Your can is property of the City of Hattiesburg. If you ever move away from your current residence, your can will remain.
If you feel the cans are too big and cumbersome; if your can is stolen, lost, or damaged; or if your garbage/trash did not get collected, please contact the City of Hattiesburg’s Sanitation Department at 601-545-4547.
