Decatur residents complain about yard waste fees | Top Stories | wandtv.com

DECATUR, Ill. (WAND) — Fees and schedules for pickups of yard waste in the city of Decatur have residents complaining to members of the city council. The council will examine the issue in their meeting set for March 4, 2024 at the Civic Center.

Council members have been getting complaints from citizens about some fees amounting to $5 per lawn bag in some parts of the city. While at least one waste hauler is asking for yard waste fees to be paid 12 months in advance.

“Why (are) haulers are asking for 12 months up front for this service when garbage and recycling are handled differently,” asked Councilman David Horn.
