CORRECTION: No Trash Pick Up Christmas Day and Day After
Decatur Metro | December 23, 2013 | 8:52 amLinda Harris sets me straight…
Monday, Dec. 23 and Tuesday, Dec. 24 solid waste and recycling will be collected as regularly scheduled.
The City is closed on Wednesday, Dec. 25 and Thursday, Dec. 26 so regular solid waste and recycling services for both Thursday and Friday will be on Friday, Dec. 27.
New Year’s Day is on Wednesday, Jan. 1 so there are no changes to the regular solid waste and recycling schedule that week.
WRONG! A little birdie reminds us that Decatur trash pickup normally scheduled for Tuesday, December 24th or Wednesday, December 25th will instead be collected on Canadian Boxing Day, December 26th.

Is that last year’s schedule?
This post is incorrect! This is last year’s schedule.
Graphic is just outdated. Post is correct.
Check the door hanger that was distributed a few weeks back. The post is correct.
No, the door hanger says:
“Christmas Holiday Wed., Dec. 25 & The. Dec 26, 2013: Normal solid waste & recycling services for both Thr. and Fri. will be on Fri., Dec. 27th after the holiday.” So no change for the Tuesday pick-up.
Need a little do-over all the way around.
Well, I lept before I looked. 24th/25th is correct, since the City is taking 24th as a holiday.
You guys are just confusing me now!
City of Decatur says: http://www.decaturga.com/index.aspx?page=315
that’s last year.
That’s last year’s door hanger, not this year’s, right?
Oops. Even City of Decatur doesn’t know when they are picking up the trash. That’s it, I’m just putting it out today and they can get it whenever the heck they get around to it.
DM, what days did you confirm with Public Works? I know from the note on the door at City Hall that 24th/25th are City holidays. The current door hanger definitely says 25th and 26th are trash holidays.
Linda just sent me what’s actually going on. Post is updated.
Did you shoot the little birdie who gave you wrong info?
Ha, the birdie wasn’t wrong. I just read it too quickly!
City just told me that they will pick up trash on Tuesday. And the city will be updating the pickup schedule soon…
Well ! I’m glad that’s taken care of !
Now, DM, could you get them to clarify the tree recycling dates? One place it says the last day is Sunday 1/5, the door hanger says Friday 1/10.
You’re referring to the recycling at Agnes Scott, right?
Yep.
Reminder: Please don’t put any boxes from Christmas on the curb until the morning of your pick-up day. The last thing you want to do is advertise all the new goodies you got.
Great news! We got lots of diapers I would like the trash people to take away tomorrow and not wait until the 26th. Sure they are outside, but my outside trash is getting pretty full.
Great. Now I have trash sitting around for another week. I’ll mark this as a lesson learned under the “don’t believe everything you read” column.
Is ordinary wrapping paper recyclable?
Generally not, because of the dyes used for the coloring and the glazing. Tissue paper, yes.
