Six boxes, about thirty seconds. You pick when to be called back, and that is when the phone rings.
Or call (228) 250-0380Cleanouts are the light end of the dumpster business. Furniture, mattresses, boxes of papers, kitchenware, clothes and the contents of a shed fill a container by volume long before they get near its weight allowance. That makes sizing a question of space: how many rooms, how full, and whether anything heavy, like a piano or a chest freezer, is hiding in the mix.
Several kinds of people end up here. Families clearing a parent's house before it is sold. Landlords turning over a property after a tenant left it full. Service members and their families at Keesler Air Force Base, home to the 81st Training Wing and the 403rd Wing, who have orders and a report date that will not move. And sellers, for whom the listing date is the deadline.
The city's curbside service, contracted through the Harrison County Utility Authority, takes furniture and appliances on collection day, as long as refrigerators have the doors removed and a tag showing the refrigerant has been taken out. Leaves and insulation have to be bagged. That handles a room. It does not handle a houseful in a week, and nothing left in the right-of-way in front of an empty lot gets picked up at all. A roll-off on the driveway turns a month of curb piles into a weekend of work.
Start with the biggest rooms and work down. Bedroom furniture for one room, or one packed garage bay, fits the smallest containers comfortably. A living room, two bedrooms and a garage push into the middle sizes. A full house with an attic and a shed to empty usually points to a large container, and a property packed floor to ceiling may need two hauls scheduled from the start. A walk-through description, room by room, gets the right answer faster than any guess.
Mississippi's rubbish sites cannot take household garbage and food, liquids, paint and chemical containers, batteries, whole tires, engines, refrigerators or air conditioners. Bag the kitchen trash and put it in the city cart. Hold paint, cleaners, oil, batteries and electronics for the household hazardous waste collection, which runs by appointment. Move refrigerators and window units out separately once the refrigerant has been recovered.
Plenty of Biloxi homes are raised, and on those every piece of furniture comes down a flight of exterior stairs. Put the container as close to the foot of the stairs as the truck allows, on the driveway or a firm pad, and keep a clear path to it. Storage areas under elevated homes collect years of tools, holiday decorations and odds and ends, so check them before ordering; they are easy to forget when estimating.
Book the container to arrive when the sorting is finished, not when it begins. Set aside whatever goes to family, donation or consignment in a room that stays closed until the container leaves. On a military move, schedule the container to go before the movers arrive so the driveway is clear for their truck. On an estate, check with whoever holds authority over the property before anything is thrown away.
Landlords and property managers often need a container more than once a year, and the pattern repeats: a tenant leaves furniture, carpet and trash, and the unit has to be ready for the next one within days. A short rental window with a fixed pickup date suits that work better than a long one. Carpet and pad are heavier than they look once they have absorbed a few years of humidity, so mention them when the container is sized.
Cleanouts are priced by container size and rental window more than by weight, since furniture rarely reaches the allowance. The pricing page shows the published ranges for Biloxi and the Coast, along with overage and extra-day rates for the jobs that run long.

Call (228) 250-0380The 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.
