Don’t be fooled by the new name!  Trash Amnesty Day for your Decatur neighborhood is right around the corner!  (And by “around the corner” I mean April, May or June.)

Catherine over at the Decatur Minute primed the masses with a post yesterday, which launches Decatur residents from Midway to Westchester into a trash-gathering frenzy, anticipating the exciting Saturday to come.  Anything from “yard trimmings, building materials (that are not from the work of private contractors), tires, appliances (not containing Freon), and trash that would not normally be placed in pay-as-you-throw bags” will be collected.

However, don’t get TOO carried away BECAUSE…

Liquids, dirt, bricks, blocks, stone, rocks, concrete and motor vehicle batteries or parts will not be collected.

When will your neighborhood celebrate this most wonderous of holidays??  Open this PDF, sent out by Public Works, to find out!

(P.S.  I’ll be adding all the neighborhood dates to the “Featured Events Calendar” in case anyone forgets to collect up all those errant tires before the big day.)

Note: the picture above was not taken in the City of Decatur and merely serves as a pictorial reference to those unfamiliar with “trash”.
