We exist to promote and practice environmental longevity throughout Decatur County. This is accomplished through recycling, community education, and reducing the amount of materials that enter our landfills. Together we can work at protecting our earth & our loved ones for years to come! As required by House Enrolled Act 1240, the Decatur County Commissioners created a Single County District called the Decatur County Solid Waste District.
The District is responsible for the management of all the solid waste in the District. The management of the plan is a two-step process. The initial step is to create a solid waste management plan for the next twenty (20) years. The second step is to implement the plan. The Solid Waste District is headed by a Board of Directors.
The Board membership consists of all three County Commissioners, Mayor of Greensburg, and a member from the Decatur County Council, Greensburg City Council, and a Board Member from the Town of Westport.The purpose of the Board of Directors is to create a Solid Waste Management Plan.

Services
The Decatur County Solid Waste Management District sponsors a day of shredding for residents a few times a year.
This is a free service to the people of Greensburg and Decatur County.
Shredding financial documents will not only protect a person's identity, it also minimizes the space required by the waste.
We will serve as the stopping point for those who need old checks or other documents destroyed.
