Jackson County rules

  • Jackson County doesn’t pay for garbage disposal from taxes: you pay for what you bring. Bagged household garbage (32 gallons or less) is $1 a bag at the compactor sites and the transfer station. Larger loads are weighed at the transfer station, $75 a ton with a $5 minimum.
  • The two compactor sites take only bagged household garbage, paid in cash or by check. Everything else goes to the transfer station, which also takes debit and credit cards (3 percent fee on credit).
