Hancock County Garbage Collection
 
The Hancock County Solid Waste Authority awarded a garbage collection contract to Coastal Environmental Services. The new contract will go into effect on May 1, 2022. As part of the contract, Coastal Environmental Services will provide 96-gallon trash cans to all Waveland residents. Waveland will maintain its schedule of twice-weekly trash pickups and twice-monthly bulk waste pickups by grappling truck as part of the agreement with Coastal Environmental Services. Coastal Environment Services is a top-notch company that will be a great partner with Waveland.
