RELATED PROGRAMS Plastic Bags Plastic #2 shopping bags and clear bulk bags are being collected at Broulims for recycling by bulk. Household Hazardous Waste (HHW) Household Hazardous Waste must be separated out and taken to Jackson Recycling. They charge a fee which will be reimbursed by our county if you bring your receipt to the Court House. More information about HHW will be available at the Transfer Station and on our website. Electronic Waste (E-Waste) Most electronics – TVs, computers, monitors, stereos etc., are best separated and recycled. The toxic components as well as recyclable parts are best handled by professionals. Jackson has a system for providing this service. Please use it. We are working with the county to provide HHW and Ewaste collection systems here. The Fee System Small and Large haulers will be directed to different areas to create more convenient trash handling for both groups. Small Household/Self-Haulers: Will pay a base $2.00 fee. This will cover two 30 gallon bags of garbage and small quantities of sorted materials: Glass, paper, cans, cardboard, wood and brush (sod, dimensional lumber). You will not have to go over the scale but will be directed to a smaller collection bin area for quick drop off. If you have up to five 30 gallon bags of mixed garbage you will pay $1.00 per additional bag. Larger Haulers: More than 5 bags, and larger loads – sorted and mixed - will go across the scale and be charged on a sliding scale with sorted materials being cheaper than mixed trash. TRANSFER STATION SUMMER HOURS 8AM to 5PM Tuesdays, Thursdays, Saturdays
