Hazardous waste disposal in Southaven, MS
Southaven is shaped by distribution and warehousing on the edge of the Memphis logistics hub, and what that means for waste is decided by what those processes generate and by the Mississippi program the site operates under — not by the city line on a map.
Served as part of Memphis
A generator in Southaven is collected on the same routing as the wider Memphis area rather than as a separate territory, which is worth saying plainly because it is what actually decides scheduling and price. It also means the practical answer to most questions here is the same as it is a few miles away.
The rule in Mississippi
Mississippi Department of Environmental Quality (MDEQ)
Waste generated in Southaven is regulated by MDEQ, which administers the authorized hazardous waste program for Mississippi over the federal baseline. What that adds for a Southaven site, and where Mississippi differs from the state next door, is set out on the state page.
Who answers, and what that means
Southaven is a planned-collection distance from the Mobile, AL office rather than a drop-everything one, which makes a scheduled route with consolidation the sensible pattern here — a site that plans its removals gets both better service and a better price than one calling when a drum is already past its date.

Asked from Southaven
The four things generators around Southaven, MS ask before anything else, answered from the rules rather than from a brochure.
Greer collects in Southaven, MS, dispatched from the Mobile, AL office on its own permits and its own equipment. There is no facility in Southaven, MS itself — Greer runs two offices, and Mississippi is covered from one of them rather than from a depot in every city that has a page.
Mississippi Department of Environmental Quality (MDEQ) administers the authorized hazardous waste program for Mississippi, over the federal baseline rather than instead of it. So a waste generated in Southaven is classified the same way it would be anywhere in the country, and the requirements around storing, moving and reporting it are Mississippi's.
An unidentified container in Southaven, MS is a smaller problem this week than it is next year, so the first thing is to leave it alone: do not move it, and do not open it if anything has crystallized around the cap. Tell the Mobile, AL office where on the Southaven, MS site it came from and what the process beside it does, and identification is arranged before collection rather than after.
No — for a site in Southaven, MS, describing the process that makes the waste and roughly how much of it there is gets you a price. A Certified Hazardous Materials Manager profiles it from that, which is the work you are buying, and guessing a code yourself only transfers the liability for it back to you, in Mississippi exactly as anywhere else.

Collection across Mississippi is not limited to the places with their own page. These are simply the ones near Southaven, MS with enough demand to be worth writing about.
