One household appliance may go out with a bulky collection, with refrigerators, ovens and dishwashers named as the examples, as long as no more than four other items ride the same pickup.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Included in the basic residential service package, with one appliance allowed per bulky pickup and no more than four other items alongside it, inside the five collections a year.
When & how
Call the assigned hauler to book the bulky pickup and say that an appliance is going out, since the one appliance limit applies to that collection.
Get it ready
Empty the unit and secure the doors, keep it out of the garbage and recycling carts, and remember that only one appliance may go out at a time, so a second unit waits for another collection or an overage arrangement with the hauler.
Basic residential service in Decatur covers once weekly collection of one garbage cart, weekly recycling, and unlimited weekly yard waste from March 1 through December 15 plus one additional pickup in January and one in February. It also includes five separate bulky waste collections a year with up to five items at each one, and a pickup may carry only one household appliance such as a refrigerator, oven or dishwasher along with no more than four other items. Expanded basic service adds a second garbage cart. Carts come in 64 or 96 gallon sizes and the hauler provides them.
Even though the hauling is private, Decatur fixes several protections for residents: a hauler that misses an entire weekly collection cycle has to credit half of one month's rate, the city may reassign a whole neighborhood to a different hauler after a substantive pattern of poor service, an overage fee for excess garbage or bulky waste requires the hauler to hold photographic evidence and produce it on request, and a customer may pause collection for at least two months once a year for a one time 5 dollar stop and start fee. Residents who cannot place containers at the curb and have nobody at home who can get back door service at no charge once the hauler has medical verification.
Yard waste goes out in any combination of biodegradable bags, stick bundles and privately owned containers marked yard waste only, with stickers available at the Civic Center box office in the main lobby, the second floor cashier windows and the Community Development Department on the third floor. Recycling reaches single-family homes and residences with up to six units, the assigned hauler runs the weekly collection, and the recycling fee is assessed on the water bill, with properties that do not use city water billed quarterly. If a recycling problem is not resolved with the hauler, the city may help at 217-424-2727.
Use a permitted, accessible outdoor spot. Arrange the move out of your home, keep shared access clear and follow your confirmation’s readiness instructions. Check with your building about access or staging limits before booking.

Before you book
A few things worth knowing.
Appliance removal, from choosing your item to pickup day in Decatur.
How much does appliance removal cost in Decatur?+
A full-size household refrigerator is $109 as a single item. A washing machine is $109, and a dryer is $109. Other appliances have their own catalog prices. Choose each item to see your exact total before booking; disposal and recycling costs are included in the item price.
Can I get same-day appliance pickup in Decatur?+
Book by 2pm at your pickup address for same-day pickup, where available. Checkout shows the dates you can choose. Your pickup is scheduled for a day rather than an exact arrival appointment, and we text you before arrival. Have the appliance disconnected and ready outside by your pickup readiness time.
Can you take a washing machine and dryer in one pickup?+
Yes. Add one Washing machine and one Dryer so both units are included in the price. They are separate items, even when you bought them as a set. If yours is a single combined unit or the machines still need to be unstacked, contact us before booking to confirm the scope.
Will you disconnect my appliance or carry it out?+
Dropcurb picks up appliances that are already disconnected and accessible outside at ground level. Arrange uninstallation, utility disconnection and indoor carrying before pickup. Use a qualified professional for gas, hardwired or plumbing connections when needed. We handle loading and haul-away from the outdoor pickup spot.
Can I book if the delivery company did not take my old appliance?+
Yes. Dropcurb pickup is separate from buying or installing a replacement, so you can book removal on its own. Select the old appliance, choose a pickup day and arrange for it to be disconnected and accessible outside. If your new delivery is still ahead, confirm the retailer’s haul-away arrangements before booking a separate pickup.
Can I put a refrigerator out in Decatur?+
Yes, one appliance at a time. Basic residential service allows a bulky pickup to include removal of one household appliance such as a refrigerator, oven or dishwasher, and not more than four other items with it, inside the five bulky collections a year. Call the hauler assigned to the address to set the pickup up, and keep the unit out of the garbage and recycling carts in the meantime.Official guidance
Who collects trash in Decatur?+
A private hauler the city licenses and assigns to each address, not a city crew. The city prints the contact numbers for GFL at 217-935-5652, Waste Management at 800-796-9696, Jeremy Doolin Disposal at 217-422-5298, Doolin Disposal at 217-423-1680 and Murrell's Disposal at 217-519-0910, and it sets what the service package has to include, from the weekly carts to five bulky collections a year. The city can assist with a recycling problem at 217-424-2727 once the resident has contacted the hauler first.Official guidance
How do I schedule a bulky pickup in Decatur?+
Call the private hauler assigned to the address. Basic residential service includes five bulky waste collections a year with up to five items at each one, and a pickup may include one household appliance such as a refrigerator, oven or dishwasher plus no more than four other items. The city also protects the account: an overage fee for excessive bulky waste needs photographic evidence that the hauler must produce on request.Official guidance
How does yard waste collection work in Decatur?+
All residential customers get unlimited weekly yard waste removal from March 1 through December 15, plus one additional pickup in January and one in February at times set by the hauler. Yard waste goes out in any combination of biodegradable bags, stick bundles and privately owned containers marked yard waste only, and stickers are available at the Civic Center box office in the main lobby, the second floor cashier windows and the Community Development Department on the third floor.Official guidance
