The City of Decorah will begin curbside collection of leaves starting on Monday, October 17th. The City will be alternating through each Ward on a different day of the week. Leaf collection will occur in each Ward on the following dates:
- Ward 1: Mondays – 10/17, 10/24, 10/31, 11/7, and 11/14
- Ward 2: Tuesdays – 10/18, 10/25, 11/1, 11/8, and 11/15

- Ward 4 and Ward 5: Thursdays – 10/20, 10/27, 11/3, 11/10, and 11/17
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 7:00 AM on the scheduled pick-up day and should be raked into windrows within 5 feet of the back of the curb. Residents who have a special circumstance that does not allow for leaves to be placed within 5 feet of the back of the curb should contact the Street Department. Please do not park vehicles within 60-feet of windrows so equipment has adequate room to safely collect the leaves. The City is reminding residents that 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 in the designated area at the City’s Yard Waste Site on Trout Run Road which is currently open on Wednesdays from 12 noon to 6 PM and Saturdays from 7 AM to 11 AM. Keys can also be checked out from City Hall to access the Yard Waste Site.
Please contact the Street Department at 382-2157 with any questions.
