The City of Decorah will begin curbside collection of leaves on Monday, October 21.
This year, the collection will start in Ward 1 with crews working through an entire Ward before moving on to the next Ward. The process typically requires 1-2 days to complete a Ward. The leaf collection schedule map will be updated throughout the week and will be available on the homepage of the City’s website (decorahia.org). 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 on the boulevard before 7 a.m. on the scheduled pick-up day(s) and should be raked into windrows within 4 feet of the back of the curb.
Residents are reminded to 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.
