The City of Decorah will begin curbside collection of leaves on Monday, Oct. 30.
This year, the collection will start in Ward 1 with crews working through an entire Ward before moving on to the next Ward. It typically takes 1-2 days to complete a Ward. The leaf collection schedule will be updated throughout the week and will be available on the homepage of the City’s website, the Street Department’s Facebook page, and local radio. A map of the current Wards is also available on the City’s website.
As a reminder, leaves must be placed behind the back of the curb; they may not be placed in the street.
Leaves must be in the boulevard before 7 a.m. on the scheduled pick-up day(s) and should be raked into windrows within 5 feet of the back of the curb. Please do not park vehicles within 60 feet of windrows so equipment has adequate room to safely collect the leaves. Curbside collection is for leaves only; all other yard waste must be taken to the City’s Yard Waste Site.
In addition to the curbside leaf collection, leaves can be deposited at the City’s Yard Waste Site which is currently open on Wednesdays from noon to 6 p.m., Saturdays from 8 a.m. to noon, and Sundays from noon to 4 p.m. Keys may also be checked out from City Hall to access the Yard Waste Site.
