Decatur County Solid Waste Meeting Today, Commission to Fill Vacancies

The Decatur County Solid Waste Committee is scheduled to meet today, December 11, 2025, at 5:00 PM in the Decatur County Courthouse courtroom. The session is open to the public and comes at a time when solid waste planning can affect collection, disposal and recycling services that households and businesses rely on. Attendance will allow residents to hear from committee members and to monitor any decisions that could influence service contracts, landfill operations or future budget priorities.

Looking ahead, the Decatur County Commission will hold its regular monthly meeting on Tuesday, January 20, 2026 at 6:00 PM at the Decatur County Courthouse, 22 West Main Street, Decaturville, Tennessee. The commission will consider applications to fill three vacancies, two for District 7 commissioner and one for District 8 commissioner. These appointments will shape local representation on issues ranging from county roads to public health and emergency services, and they will determine who will vote on county policy until the next election cycle.

The January meeting will begin with a 15 minute public input session at 6:00 PM. Residents who wish to speak may sign in 15 minutes before the meeting is called to order or contact the Decatur County Mayor’s office at 731-852-2131 to register in advance. The commission maintains public comment guidelines and posts recent agendas for review, and those materials are available through county channels or by request from the Mayor’s office.

For Decatur County residents, these meetings are practical opportunities to stay informed and to make their voices heard on matters that affect daily life. Participation can matter in decisions about local services and in the selection of representatives who will make choices on budgets, infrastructure and community priorities. Officials encourage those with concerns or interest in the vacant commissioner seats to attend the January meeting or to contact county offices for further information.
