The new garbage service provider in unincorporated DeSoto County has begun to offer recycling services to its new customers. It will begin on Dec. 4 but customers will not automatically get recycling services. They will need to sign up for it.
Recycling service is an extra $10 a month above the regular monthly garbage collection charge and this applies ONLY to unincorporated areas of the county – it does not apply to people who live in a city or town.
