Heavy trash collection week will begin in Decatur on Monday, April 10, and continue through April 14.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This will be the first of two such collections by the city this year, with the other to come in the fall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThis will be a good opportunity to clean up around your home,\u201d city Operations Manager Jeremy Gilbert said in making the announcement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The larger items will be taken on the same schedule as the weekly trash collections. However, Gilbert noted that the pickups could run behind schedule if there is a large amount for city workers to haul away. \u201cSo please be patient with us; we will get there,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Items that will not be picked up are home improvement materials, carpeting, appliances with Freon, and electronics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Gilbert asked that items be bagged, if possible. \u201cIt just makes things more efficient and easier,\u201d he explained, adding: \u201cPlease be kind to the workers.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
