Waste Management of MS & Meridian constructed Mississippi's first Recycle America Processing Facility, located on Hwy 80 E. This facility is where recyclables are brought, sorted into various categories, crushed and bundled for transportation. These recyclables are then delivered to users of recycled materials where they are made into new products. If you would like further information or a container to participate, please contact Waste Management of MS Meridian's Recycle Hotline at 601-693-1620.
