Marshall County announces garbage-exemption signup for Social Security-only households (Nov. 1–Dec. 31)
Summary
Marshall County announced a garbage-exemption signup for residents whose sole income is Social Security; signups run Nov. 1–Dec. 31, 2025, at the Marshall County Health Department on Judith Smith Drive and require proof of Social Security income or bank statements and an affidavit.
Marshall County officials announced at a work session on Oct. 22 that residents whose only income is Social Security may sign up for a garbage-exemption for fiscal year 2026 beginning Nov. 1 and ending Dec. 31, 2025.
The sign-up location is the Marshall County Health Department on Judith Smith Drive in Guntersville. Applicants must provide proof of Social Security income or recent bank statements and complete an affidavit to be considered eligible. The county will forward qualified applications to Republic Services for processing.
A commissioner who said they had helped relatives through the process described the form as quick to fill out but noted that parking and walking to the office could take longer. County staff repeated the dates and documentation requirements later in the meeting to ensure clarity.
There was no formal vote on the announcement; it was presented as informational to ensure community members are aware of the signup window and documentation requirements.
