Household Hazardous Waste Collection Site
Everyday Harrison County residents unknowingly threaten our environment by throwing out household hazardous waste along with their regular trash or by pouring hazardous waste down their sinks, storm drains or sewers. This improper disposal can destroy our environment by polluting our air, water and soil. To provide residents with a safe and sanitary alternative, the Harrison County Household Hazardous Waste Collection is available.

Open the second Saturday of every month from 8 a.m. until noon at 10076 Lorraine Road next to the Sheriff Department, this collection site is free to the public and accepts the following:

• Latex or oil based paint
• Used cooking or automobile oil
• Antifreeze
• Household, marine and car batteries
• White goods such as freezers and refrigerators
• Fluorescent light bulbs
• Tires
• E-waste (electronics) such as computers, cell phones, telephones, televisions

If you have questions about whether an item can be accepted, please call 228-214-1405.
Items are ONLY accepted during the hours of operation or by special appointment.

This program is partially funded by the Mississippi Department of Environmental Quality.
