Local services and rules

Moving to Decatur: who to call and what the city asks.

Private haulers, not the city, serve Decatur addresses for garbage and recycling. City snowplows do not plow alleys. Decatur is in Macon County, Illinois.

Downtown parking through Public Works

Temporary construction parking spaces downtown are available through Public Works at 217-424-2747. Downtown residential parking is available to residents of the downtown area with proof of residency.

Snow routes and Winter No-Parking signs

When more than two inches of snow has fallen, a snow emergency is declared and no parking is allowed on streets designated as snow routes. Vehicles parked on snow routes may be ticketed and towed at the owner's expense.

Winter No-Parking signs are posted on certain narrow streets where large snowplow trucks cannot safely get through when vehicles are parked.

Hauler carts, pauses and bulky pickups

Haulers are responsible for providing a 64 or 96-gallon cart for garbage if a resident needs one. Recycling service is available to single-family homes and residences with up to six units; a resident who needs a recycling cart contacts their hauler.

Each residential customer may pause collection service once per year, for a minimum of two months, scheduled in advance with the hauler. Basic service includes bulky waste collections each year, with only one household appliance per pickup. Residents call their hauler to set one up.

Macon County Environmental Management supports drop-off single-stream recycling sites around the county; glass is not accepted at the drop-off locations.

Decatur Moves shared rides
