Sanitation & Recycling

The City of Decatur contracts with an outside waste management company for solid waste collection. Everyone within the city limits is required to have garbage collection and we want to encourage our residents to take advantage of our recycling program. If you are interested in recycling, there are recycle bins located in the City Hall parking lot next Maple Street. 

Most trash and debris, when properly bundled and/or contained properly, can be disposed of at curbside with your regular garbage service days. If assistance is needed or you have questions for the city, please do not hesitate to contact us. 

For questions specific to trash, please call the waste management company directly.
