My apologies to “Oakhurst Neighborhood #1″, since I’m just posting this and your clean up day is tomorrow!  Neighborhood clean up days start this weekend, so without further ado, from The Decatur Minute…

The City of Decatur offers Neighborhood Clean-Up days once a year to allow residents to dispose of bulky items that wouldn’t normally be placed in Pay-As-You-Throw bags.  Each street in the City is assigned to one Saturday each spring, generally between March-June.

The event starts this Saturday, so make sure to check the schedule below to find out which day your street will be picked up.

For more information on either event, contact: Sean Woodson, Solid Waste Superintendent, sean.woodson@decaturga.com, 678-898-8562.

As for the list of items the city will NOT collect, here’s this year’s list…
