The City of Decatur will assist Decatur residents with tree debris cleanup after the recent storms. Tree limbs/debris must be placed at the curb, and a request for pickup must be made before Monday, June 29.

A reminder that right now Decatur garbage customers have unlimited weekly yard waste collection. If you have smaller debris that can fit in a yard waste container, please use that service. If you cannot dispose using the yard waste service:

◾️ Request a pickup from the curb before Monday, June 29, using this online form https://www.decaturil.gov/FormCenter/Public-Works-14/Request-tree-limbdebris-pickup-from-curb-80
◾️ Or call 217.875.4820 by 3:00 p.m. on Friday, June 26
◾️ Trees and limbs must be brought to the curb before Monday, June 29
◾️ Trees and limbs must be cut so they are no longer than six feet in length
◾️ We will not collect any other garbage, fence posts, or building debris. If these are on the tree debris pile, it will not be collected
◾️ No paper bags on the debris pile. Landscape bags can be collected by your hauler

Public Works crews will begin pickup on Monday, June 29. Please avoid parking in front of debris piles once pickup begins as this will prevent crews from reaching them with equipment. Due to liability issues, City crews cannot come onto private property. Tree debris must be at the curb for pickup.

Our crews will pick up all debris piles that are reported. We appreciate your cooperation and patience as we work together to clean up from the storm.
