A roll-off matched to the debris, not to whatever size happens to be sitting in the yard. Before it goes on the truck you know how many days you get, how many tons ride free and what each extra ton runs. Shingles, slab, sheetrock or a house full of furniture, the container lands where a truck can actually reach it on a Biloxi lot, from a raised house on a tight East Biloxi street to a new build north of I-10 in Woolmarket.

Six boxes, about thirty seconds. You pick when to be called back, and that is when the phone rings.
Or call (228) 250-0380The right container for the debris, a bill that matches what was agreed, and a driver who knows a raised East Biloxi lot from a cul-de-sac in Woolmarket.
Shingles, slab, sheetrock and furniture each want a different container. The size comes from what you are throwing out, not from what is parked on the lot.
The days included, the weight that rides free and the charge for every extra ton are settled before the container is put on the schedule.
A load of concrete and brick has more places to go than a mixed one. Keeping heavy masonry separate from trash protects the simpler option.
From Point Cadet and East Biloxi out through Edgewater and Sunkist, and north across the bay to Woolmarket. Written around Biloxi's flood rules and Mississippi's rubbish sites.
There is nothing to fill in. The work is quoted before any of it starts.
Squares of roof, rooms of sheetrock, yards of slab or a houseful of furniture. The material picks the container before the size does.
Concrete drive, gravel under a raised house, or firm yard. Clear of the ditch, overhead lines and the neighbor's driveway, with room for the truck to back in.
Delivery day, days included, tons included and the overage rate, agreed up front. Once the can is full, the swap or the final pickup gets set.
Illustrative photographs of the kinds of work described on this page. No specific Biloxi property is shown.
Four things move what a Biloxi dumpster costs. Each one can be pinned down before the truck pulls out.
Every container includes some tons. Roofing and concrete hit that limit fast, and each ton over it is added to the bill.
Clean masonry can go to a Class II rubbish site. Add wood, sheetrock or trash and it needs a Class I site instead.
Rentals include a set period. A rebuild that stalls on an elevation certificate or an inspection keeps the container longer.
The rubbish landfill in north Biloxi is close; the county's garbage landfill near Pass Christian is not. Which one a load needs depends on what is in it.
Most Biloxi projects fit one of these four. Each card links to the page that covers it in full.
Sheetrock, flooring, cabinets and the old lower walls under a house being lifted. In a Biloxi flood zone, work that reaches half of the building's value triggers the city's full new-construction rules, so these jobs tend to grow. Plan the containers for the project you will end up doing, not only the one you started.
Coast roofs take a beating every hurricane season, and the state's new grant program now pays toward roofs rebuilt to the FORTIFIED standard, which means a full tear-off. Asphalt shingles are heavy for their bulk, and a single tear-off with some rotten decking can use up a mid-size container's weight allowance on its own.
Concrete, brick and block are the densest things that go in a dumpster, and they want a small container with a high weight limit, not a big one. Clean loads of masonry qualify for Mississippi's simplest rubbish sites. Mix in wood or trash and the load has to go somewhere else, often for more money.
Keesler orders, an inherited cottage, a rental gone wrong. Furniture, mattresses and boxes are bulky and light, so these jobs are sized by space rather than weight. Curbside pickup takes furniture set out on collection day, but a whole house in a week needs a roll-off on the driveway and a firm pickup date.

The City of Biloxi's 2023 floodplain guidance says that if improvements, additions or repairs to an existing structure in the flood zone cost at least half of its market value, materials and labor counted, the city and the National Flood Insurance Program require the entire structure to meet new-construction requirements, including elevation to one foot above the base flood elevation. Nearly half of the land in Biloxi is in a special flood hazard area, nearly all of Point Cadet is in a flood zone, and dumping into ditches and streams violates city ordinance Sec. 9-1-15.
Why it matters: A remodel that crosses the half-value line turns into an elevation job, and the debris multiplies with it. Containers also have to stay out of the ditch line, which in a city this low carries the street's runoff.

Biloxi's trash guide says garbage, recycling and yard trash are collected under a contract through the Harrison County Utility Authority, and that contractor-generated waste such as construction debris, or limbs left by tree or lawn services, will not be picked up because removal is the contractor's responsibility. Concrete, asphalt, dirt and tires are also on the not-collected list, and nothing placed in the right-of-way in front of an empty lot is picked up. A 2016 city notice directed contractor debris to the rubbish landfill on Hudson-Krohn Road.
Why it matters: Any renovation, roof or demolition in Biloxi needs its own container and a permitted place to dump it. Debris piled at the curb gets left there.

Mississippi rules let a Class I rubbish site accept construction and demolition debris, brick, concrete, cardboard, vegetation, furniture and similar waste, while a Class II site accepts only natural vegetation and inert material such as brick, mortar, concrete, stone and asphalt. Household garbage, liquids, paint and chemical containers, whole tires, batteries, refrigerators and air conditioners are barred from both. MDEQ's active facility listing shows a Class I rubbish landfill and a transfer station at 14339 Hudson Krohn Road in Biloxi, further Class I sites near Pass Christian and Saucier, a Class II site on Road 510 in Biloxi, and the county's municipal solid waste landfill at Pecan Grove near Pass Christian.
Why it matters: What is in the container decides where it can be dumped. A clean load of concrete or brick qualifies for the simplest sites, mixed renovation debris needs a Class I site, and household garbage needs a landfill rather than a rubbish site.

By July 22, 2007, the City of Biloxi had hauled more than 2.94 million cubic yards of Hurricane Katrina debris and estimated more than 98 percent of it removed, with debris removal and disposal projected to cost $79.7 million. At the six-month mark, unburnable debris made up 1,625,112 of the 2,078,194 cubic yards hauled from city streets and rights-of-way. By August 2007 the city had issued more than 3,984 building permits for storm repairs.
Why it matters: Public debris contracts clear streets and rights-of-way. What comes out of a damaged house, from sheetrock to slab, is the owner's or the contractor's to remove, and on this coast that work arrives in waves after every storm.

No. The city's trash guide says garbage, recycling and yard trash are collected under a contract through the Harrison County Utility Authority, and that contractor-generated waste, such as construction debris or limbs left behind by tree and lawn services, will not be picked up; removing it is the contractor's job. The same guide lists concrete, asphalt, dirt and tires among the items that are never collected. An earlier city notice put it plainly: when residents hire contractors for repairs or alterations, disposal of the debris belongs to the contractor and not to the taxpayer. Doing the work yourself does not change the answer. Renovation debris needs a container and a permitted disposal site, not the curb.
At a site permitted by the Mississippi Department of Environmental Quality, and which one depends on what is in the container. State rules let a Class I rubbish site take construction and demolition debris, furniture, cardboard, vegetation and masonry, while a Class II site takes only vegetation and inert material such as brick, concrete, stone and asphalt. Neither may take household garbage, food waste, paint containers, whole tires, batteries or refrigerators. MDEQ's facility listing shows a Class I rubbish landfill and a transfer station side by side at 14339 Hudson Krohn Road in north Biloxi, a Class II site on Road 510, and the county's municipal solid waste landfill at Pecan Grove near Pass Christian. A clean masonry load has the most choices.
Because of the half-value rule. The city's floodplain guidance says that if improvements, additions or repairs to an existing structure in the flood zone cost at least half of its market value, counting materials and labor, the city and the National Flood Insurance Program require the whole structure to meet new-construction rules, including elevation to one foot above the base flood elevation. Nearly half of the land in Biloxi sits in a special flood hazard area, and almost all of Point Cadet is in one. A kitchen remodel that crosses that line becomes an elevation project, with lower walls, slab-level finishes and utilities coming out, and the debris plan has to grow to match. Ask the Building Division where your numbers land before demolition starts.
Get a roll-off matched to the debris, the days and the tons agreed before it is set down, and a pickup on the date you need. Keep every scrap out of the ditches: dumping into a Biloxi drainage ditch or stream breaks a city ordinance and backs water up the street.
