Public Works is gearing up for the 2009 Neighborhood Association Spring Cleanup Days with up to eight employees and four trucks on the following Saturdays in April and May, from 8 a.m. until 3:30 p.m. All items to be collected should be placed at the curb no later than 7:30 a.m.
Yard trimmings, building materials (that are not from the work of private contractors), tires, appliances (not containing Freon), and trash that would not normally be placed in pay-as-you-throw (PAYT) bags will becollected.
Please do not include any liquids, dirt, bricks, blocks, stone, rocks, concrete, or motor vehicle batteries and parts.
Visit the Spring Cleanup Days webpage to find out which Saturday Public Works is coming to your neighborhood.

Hmm… seems my neighborhood (Willow Lane, Pensdale, Eastland) is excluded from this city activity, based on the web site’s list of streets and neighborhoods. It kinda makes that whopping tax bill I got in the mail today a little harder to swallow.
[…] Neighborhood Clean Up (aka Trash Amnesty) Day 2 04 2009 Carl tipped me off to this, but The Decatur Minute pointed me to the full list of streets. That’s teamwork for […]
Mistercrayfish, I’ll look into why those streets aren’t on the list.
Hi Catherine,
Our street, East Hancock Street, has also been left off the list. (Although West Hancock Street is on the list. Go figure). If you could add us, we’d appreciate it.
Paula
Are you coming down Emerson Ave? If so, when? I don’t see it on the list
Hi Everyone,
Just updated the list to include the missing streets.
Mistercrayfish, your neighborhood’s cleanup date is June 6.
Paula, East Hancock is on the same day as West Hancock, May 2.
Curious in Lenox Park, your neighborhood cleanup is June 13.
Thank you, Catherine!
Catherine,
Thanks for the update, and thanks for remembering those of us who live on the fringes of the city but who, nevertheless, pay city taxes like every other resident.
I appreciate your making the effort to research our neighborhood’s “omission” and to update the web site with our street names.
Thanks a lot!
You are welcome! Thank you for your patience.
