City of Decatur Neighborhood Clean Up Days Return

Posted in Community on September 4, 2021 | Leave a Comment »

The City of Decatur is hosting Neighborhood Cleanup Days on Saturdays starting in September through December to allow residents to dispose of bulky materials that would not normally be placed in pay-as-you-throw bags. Every street in the city has been assigned a Saturday. See the instructions noted here, and find the date specified for your street. Please read carefully to note changes.

All items to be collected should be placed at the curb no later than 7:30 am. This ensures that we do not have to rerun routes for late set-outs. Collections run until 3:30 pm, or until finished-whichever is sooner.

Visit decaturga.com/publicworks/page/neighborhood-clean-days for the full schedule. If you have any questions, contact Sean Woodson at sean.woodson@decaturga.com or 404-377-5571.

Acceptable Items:
• Yard trimmings
• Building materials (that are not from the work of private contractors)
