I’m NOT going to be tardy with this post this year! Lenox Place, looks like you’re up first. From the Decatur Minute…
Public Works is gearing up for the 2017 Neighborhood Clean-Up days.
The City offer these days once a year to help residents dispose of bulky items that don’t easily fit into Pay-As-You-Throw bags. Each street in the city is assigned to a Saturday between March and June. Dates for the 2017 event are now available.

This is my second most favorite day of the year!! (insert smiley face here!)
So I guess electronics recycling is number one?
