Local Government Collection Programs

Several local governments and organizations in Mississippi offer permanent drop-off locations for residents to bring their unwanted electronics. Below are the local e-waste recycling programs known to MDEQ. If there is not a program for your area, please contact your local solid waste program coordinator, board of supervisors, or city officials to see if they offer such a program. If you are a local official and have a program that is not listed below, please contact Mr. Reese Yontz either through e-mail or by phone at (601) 961-5035 to be added to the list below.
