Final meeting next week about DeKalb trash pickup

DeKalb County, which is considering cutting back on its near-daily curbside trash pick-up, will hold its final meeting about the service next week.

DeKalb is considering raising its $265 a year fee by $40, which in addition to trash pickup pays for yard waste hauling and recycling, or cutting back to once-weekly trash service, to cover its costs.

The meeting begins at 6:30 p.m. Monday, Feb. 25 at Maloof Auditorium, 1300 Commerce Dr., Decatur.
