Here are all the items Biloxi will and won’t pick up from the curb besides normal trash
Most Biloxi residents are familiar with the basics of the city’s trash collection schedule, but what happens when you need to dispose of something unusual?
Not everything can be left at the curb. The city has specific guidelines, excluding certain items from being picked up during regular collection.
Residential garbage service in Biloxi is managed by the Harrison County Utility Authority, with pickups occurring weekly. Trash containers should be put out on the street by 7 a.m. on collection days, according to the Harrison County Utility Authority. Officials also recommend keeping the container at least 3 feet from parked cars, mailboxes and other obstacles.
Here are the rules for trash collection, according to the city and the Harrison County Utility Authority.
Vegetative Debris
The city will pick up vegetative debris, like tree limbs, as long as the limbs are no longer than 8 feet. Tree limbs and pine straw should be bagged for pick-up.
Bulky items
Bulky items, like furniture, can also be collected by the city during trash pick up if the item is placed by the curbside.
What the city won’t pick up
The city won’t collect the following items during trash pick up:
- Medical waste
- Unbagged household garbage
- Construction debris or limbs left by tree and lawn services
- Crawfish/shrimp hulls
- Concrete, asphalt or dirt
- Auto parts

Hazardous materials
While the city doesn’t pick up hazardous materials, residents can drop those items off at the Rockco-McFarland Household Hazardous Waste Collection & Recycling Center from 8 a.m. to 12 p.m. the second Saturday of every month or by appointment on weekdays.
