The Jackson Parish Finance Committee voted to recommend adding a $20 delinquent fee to residential solid-waste bin payments and a $200 delinquent fee for commercial dumping per 30 days; after 60 days a bin is to be picked up and dumping privileges suspended.
The Jackson Parish Finance Committee on July 28, 2026, recommended imposing delinquent fees for solid-waste customers and commercial dumpers. The motion, made by Mr. Keith Burris and seconded by Mrs. Tarneshala Cowans, proposed a $20 delinquent fee for residential bin payments and a $200 delinquent fee for commercial dumping per 30 days; the committee recorded that after 60 days a delinquent customer's bin would be picked up and their dumping privileges suspended.
The motion as stated in the minutes carried. The minutes provide the fee amounts and the 60-day enforcement consequence but do not list which department will implement the fee schedule or provide a timetable for sending notices to affected customers; those implementation details were not specified in the record.
