Decatur County shares Convenient Center hours for five drop-off sites
Bath Springs, Parsons and Decaturville residents have five county drop-off options, with most centers open 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Sunday hours from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m.
Decatur County says its five Convenient Centers give Bath Springs, Parsons and Decaturville residents local drop-off options from early morning to late afternoon, with most sites open Monday through Saturday from 7:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. and Sunday from 1:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. The county’s notice names centers at 105 Gardner Cem Ln and 715 Bob’s Landing Rd in Bath Springs, 170 Brodies Landing Rd in Parsons and 1440 Mt. Carmel Rd in Decaturville.
That schedule matters most for families trying to fit a cleanup run between work shifts, school pickup and other errands. A shorter trip to the nearest center can save fuel, cut down on trailer time and reduce the risk of illegal dumping when residents have household cleanup loads, bulky items or routine waste to handle close to home.
One location also runs on a reduced schedule, with Sunday, Tuesday and Thursday afternoon hours and a Saturday opening starting at 8:00 a.m. Mt. Carmel has also shown up as the exception in county notices before; on Jan. 11, 2025, Decatur County said the centers were open that day except for Mt. Carmel. For residents who live farther from Decaturville, that kind of schedule difference can decide whether a disposal trip happens the same day or gets pushed off.
The county has also shown that Convenient Center hours can change around holidays and operations. Decatur County closed the centers for Memorial Day on May 27, 2024, for Labor Day on Sept. 1, 2025, for Christmas Eve and Christmas Day in 2025, for New Year’s Day in 2026 and for Independence Day on July 4, 2026. The county says the centers operate on regular schedules on other days, and it lists 731-549-4128 for updates.
For households across the county, the practical advice is straightforward: use the nearest site, check the hours before loading the truck or trailer and confirm the schedule if the trip falls near a holiday or maintenance period. In a county built around a handful of local stops people return to week after week, a quick check can prevent an extra drive and keep waste out of ditches and back roads.
