Retailers with Pay-As-You-Throw (PAYT) Bags
Posted in Community, Retail & Restaurants on April 7, 2020 | 1 Comment »
We’ve received questions about the availability of Pay-As-You-Throw (PAYT) bags and we are monitoring the situation daily and are considering all options. The City is continuing to supply the retail stores listed below with Pay As You Throw bags on a weekly basis. We’ve recently ordered additional bags from our supplier to insure adequate supplies. We do not anticipate any disruptions to service and are monitoring the situation daily.
The cost of the PAYT bags covers the fee the City must pay to dispose of waste at the County landfill.
Most of the locations are offering curbside pick-up. Contact the business directly for details. Also, please be sure to have all items on the curb before 7:30 a.m. If you have any questions or difficulty in purchasing PAYT bags call the City of Decatur Public Works Department at (404) 377-5571 or email sanitation@decaturga.com. Please visit decaturga.com/publicworks for updates.
City of Decatur Offers 30-Minute Free On-Street Parking For To-Go Orders
Posted in Community, Retail & Restaurants on March 17, 2020 | Leave a Comment »
The City and SP+ now provide 30-minute free parking on all on-street metered parking in downtown Decatur as part of our COVID-19 response plan. This allows patrons to pick up a to-go order from one of our many fine restaurants and shops.
To receive 30-minute free parking from a meter, download the free ParkMobile App on your phone; enter “7801” in the Zone Number; and enter the promo code “BESAFE.”
By using the ParkMobile App and the BESAFE promo code, you will receive 30 minutes of free parking and do not have to touch the pay stations. The ParkMobile App is free and you are able to use it in Decatur and anywhere else ParkMobile has a presence, such as the City of Atlanta (But the free parking only is valid in downtown Decatur).
Currently the 30-minute free parking is only available through the ParkMobile App. It is not available if you use coins or a credit card at the individual pay stations. So use the ParkMobile App and activate 30-minutes free parking with the BESAFE promo code.
For questions contact decaturonstreet@spplus.com.
