The city of Jackson issued the following statement.
As a reminder, Richard’s Disposal is still experiencing temporary delays due to recent storms. Crews are working hard to get back on schedule as it relates to normal trash pickup. Despite the delays, please leave your trash at the curb. Crews will be through to pick it up. Richard’s is only picking up household trash.
If you have large limbs or storm debris that needs to be removed, you are asked to call The City of Jackson’s Solid Waste Division at 601-960-1193. If you have
hired a contractor to cut up trees, it is the responsibility of the contractor to remove that debris.
We ask for your patience over the next few days as crews work diligently to pick up the mass amounts of accumulated trash.
We apologize for any inconvenience.

Was not a fan of the Mayor's shoving Richard's down our throats, but have never blamed the hardworking guys on the trucks. This is understandable with downed trees, extra ruined food garbage, and the fact that they may have storm damage themselves.
Now, if the Mayor and Council will go to work with a new request for proposals before we end right back up where we were with garbage lining the streets of Jackson.
At some point the foolishness needs to stop. Delayed due to the recent storms? The only people who will believe it are the same folks who believe a mayor can veto a no vote.
lol they’ll take any situation and use it as an excuse for why nothing gets done in this city. Spin the wheel and see what it lands on:
- Weather
- Perceptions
- Racism
- White flight
- Climate change
- Republicans
- Statues
- Past mayors
- Trump
- Gunshows
- Historic freeze or heat
LMAO. Team Lumumba can't do anything. Maybe the Receiver should take over solid waste too.
No delays with Waste Management in Madison County. Palm greasing in Jackson doesn't actually improve service. Right?
LOL. The dog ate my homework.
I really 😂 appreciate their 'apologizing for the inconvenience'. Right?
But what I would really really appreciate is the Mayor apologizing for creating the inconvenience through his forcing Richards on the city - for whatever reason, hopefully to be discovered sometime soon.
The 'inconvenience' is not occurring in surrounding towns where legitimate garbage collection companies were also impacted by the storm but were able to overcome those impacts and not interrupt service.
Jackson is a f’ing joke of a shithole.
Storms hit Madison also. My garbage and limbs got picked up on time this week. Excuses.
A well worn excuse that Richard's has parlayed upon New Orleans many times. They're very experienced singing this tune.
Locusts I tell you, it's the locusts, but they are the radical variety.
Waste Management has been right on schedule in Madison County.
For the 15 years that I've lived in Jackson and had Waste Management picking up my trash, I can think of only once or twice, that they missed a day. Richards has missed at least 4 in the last two months. They obviously don't have enough trucks for regular pickup or supervisors who know how to get trucks and crews to handle "surges" in waste or debris. Regardless, this choice of vendor needs to be reevaluated sooner than later with a request for bids as soon as possible. Not an RFP, a request for bids based on a one set of specifications. 1x or 2x per week, I don't care. My own cans, bought and paid for for years, yes. It's only difficult when the Mayor tries to game the system and steer the contract.
Jacksonians must enjoy being lied to and taken advantage of. Enjoy your misery. You voted for it.
8:19, by your logic you must enjoy being lied to and taken advantage of by an addled President Biden - you voted for him.
The vast majority of Jacksonians who frequent this board, like me, did not vote for Lumumba. Your trolling is falling on the wrong ears on this blog.
No one blames the guys actually collecting the trash it's their piss poor leadership. The owner of Richards and the mayor both are slimy snake oil
salesmen
10:32am, using my logic, I would have already moved out of Jackson.
"The vast majority of Jacksonians who frequent this board, like me, did not vote for Lumumba."
The vast majority of Jacksonians who frequent this board either DID vote for him or did not bother to vote.
I have no idea how many 'Jacksonians' visit this board, and neither do you. But, apparently not enough to matter in the mayoral elections.
"Was not a fan of the Mayor's shoving Richard's down our throats, but have never blamed the hardworking guys on the trucks."
Regardless of organization, where lethargy, apathy, incompetence, laziness and sloth exist, it starts at the top and migrates all the way to the bottom.
