4. What Time Should I Leave My Bags Out?
Answer: We strongly recommend placing your bags out the night before each pick up. Routes can begin as early as 6am on pick up days and continue throughout the day. Our aim is to have all our subscribers' material collected by 2pm, but can extend throughout the day. Additionally, routes can change from time to time due to new subscribers joining, so please be aware that if your material was collected at 8am on one day, does not always mean that it will be collected again at that exact time.
5. Can I Use My Own Bags?
Answer: Subscribers must Recycle Mississippi bags only.
6. Why Can I Not Use Store Bought Bags?
Answer: This is solely for liability purposes. We want to avoid collecting material in unrecognizable bags because our drivers will not know what are in the bags. We do not want to collect any material that is not intended for collection by Recycle Mississippi.
7. When Will I Receive My Recycle Mississippi Bins?
Answer: New Subscribers will receive their bags within 10 business days.
8. What If I Need More Bags? (What If I Have More Material Than My Bags Allow For?)
