💡 Hey Jackson County! Did You Know?
One of the most common questions we hear during our annual County Recycle Days is:
"Do I have to hold onto these items until the next recycling event?"
The answer is... not always! ♻️
The Jackson County Transfer Station accepts several items for recycling year-round, including:
✅ Scrap Metal
✅ Cardboard
✅ Paint
✅ E-Waste (Electronics)
✅ Motor Oil (5-gallon limit)..and many other items!
Instead of waiting for one of our special recycling events, many materials can be recycled throughout the year right here in Jackson County.

Together, we can reduce waste, recycle more, and keep Jackson County beautiful! 🌎💚
