City of Decatur Yard Waste Collection Services set to be reinstated Monday, Jan. 10

Two weeks ago, the decision was made to temporarily stop collecting yard waste due to reduced staffing levels.

At this time, we believe that we can safely resume the collection of yard waste on Monday, Jan. 10. The health and protection of our employees and community are our top priority. We want to make sure they can do their job safely and return home to their families safely.

Yard Waste Collection Requirements

• Yard trimmings must be placed into single-use yard waste bags or a container no larger than 32- gallons.
• Bundles of sticks, hedge clippings, and small brush must be securely tied and not exceed 4 feet in length or 50 pounds.

Given the highly dynamic response to this pandemic, we will continue to monitor the ongoing situation very closely and adjust our services as circumstances dictate.

Please stay safe and thanks for your understanding and patience.
