Big changes are coming to garbage collection in Senatobia.
In a move to cut down on monthly and yearly costs, the Board of Aldermen used a 4-1 vote and approved a proposal earlier this month to outsource the city’s garbage collection to Waste Pro. Aldermen also authorized a monthly rate hike from $18 to $23 for residential customers and an increase from $20 to $30 in commercial rates. That motion passed by a 3-2 margin.

Asked to describe Jim Poole, his close friend of six decades, Archie Manning paused, pregnantly.
“I’m really struggling with Jim’s death,” he finally said.
