The new solid waste contract between the City of Jackson and Waste Management will begin Aug. 1, and as the City transitions from backdoor pickup to curbside solid waste pickup, it will be providing residents with 90-96 gallon rolling carts to collect waste.
Residents with a disability can apply for assistance at trash.jacksontn.gov, according to a statement from Mayor Scott Conger’s office.
Rolling carts will be delivered in phases starting in July if supply chains allow production to move forward as scheduled.
The changes for citizens are one rolling cart will be provided for the deposit of residential waste at each residential unit and carts must be placed in front of the house and on the curb.

McKellar-Sipes Regional Airport will be welcoming new airline Boutique Air on June 1, allowing passengers to fly more quickly, more stylishly and most importantly, more often.
“I’m excited about the number of increased flights we’re going to see,” said McKellar-Sipes Director Steve Smith. “The (new) airplane flies higher and faster, and I’m also excited about the commitment this company has to making sure that the opportunities provided by this change in service is available to everyone…I don’t run the airline, but I’m very excited to see how this is going to unfold.”
Boutique Air will be bringing a PC-12 Pilatus plane on board, which is a single-engine turboprop passenger and cargo plane that will cut down on flight times for the airport’s St. Louis and Atlanta routes.
