Decorah Street Department issues notice

In the fall of the year, City of Decorah residents can rake the leaves off their lawns and dump them in the gutter of their street, where city crews will come by with a street sweeper and pick them up.

But the Street Department is reminding the public that the same service is not available in the spring.  Crews have already been operating the street sweeper from 2:00 a.m. until 4:00 p.m. recently, so they're not looking for more work.  Leaves should be bagged and taken to the Yard Waste Site, which will open April 16th.
