Final meetings this week about DeKalb trash service

DeKalb County, which is considering cut backs to its near-daily curbside trash pick-up, will hold its final two meetings about the service this week.

For $265 a year, residents had been receiving twice weekly trash pickup and recycling pickup and yard trimmings once a week with no volume limit.

To help keep costs, and the fee, down, the county late last year consolidated recycling and yard waste pick-up into one day.
