Waste Connections will resume its normal routes in unincorporated areas starting Monday , January 22 after an unprecedented winter storm that impacted the entire county .
We realize that many of you have extra garbage and may not be able to get it all in your bin . PLEASE NOTE , Waste Connections CAN NOT pick up bags set on the ground next to your bins due to the type of trucks they drive . The automated side loader uses a mechanical arm , operated from inside the truck , to dump the trash cart . There isn ' t a good way to toss bags into the truck .
The County has set up dumpsters across the County for residents to dump household trash bags that won ' t fit in the trash bin .
* Lake Cormorant Community Park: 3000 Old Highway 61 , Lake Cormorant , MS
*Fairview Community Park: 1372 Red Banks Rd . N , Byhalia , MS
*Rubbish Pit: 5255 W Sandidge Rd , Olive Branch ( 7am - 4:30pm Monday - Friday )
*2339 Gwynn Rd Nesbit MS . ( 8am - 3pm )
*There are also two dumpsters located at the Olive Branch Parks and Recreation Office at 8877 College Street , Olive Branch . These are only for residential trash .
