At a public meeting on Dec. 4, 2025, the Corinth City Council approved an amendment to the city’s code of ordinances to allow a rate adjustment for municipally franchised garbage collection under the city’s seven-year contract with Community Waste Disposal.

Leigh Ann Bunzelmeyer, Director of Finance and Strategic Services, told the council CWD proposed a $0.65 monthly increase for regular residential service (raising that line to about $12.47 before franchise fees) and a $0.60 increase for senior accounts (to $15.81 before fees). Bunzelmeyer said franchise fees would be added and estimated the total proposed monthly charge for typical residential service would be about $18.71 and $16.93 for seniors after those fees.

Bunzelmeyer compared Corinth’s proposed rates to a metro average of about $20.43, saying the city would remain below area averages even after the adjustment. After brief questions, a council member moved to approve the increase ‘‘as presented’’ and the council voted unanimously.

The action followed the contract terms allowing an annual January adjustment under the seven-year agreement approved in December 2024. The council did not record individual roll-call votes in the transcript; the mayor announced the outcome as unanimous.
