Decatur Continues Neighborhood Cleanup Days In April

DECATUR, GA -- If you're like most homeowners you may have a few things around the house that you just don't need anymore. That old Hoover vacuum cleaner in the closet with the broken knob. The round glass dining table that you had since college but no longer eat on. That dog hair-covered futon. That grand piano from Grandma's? OK, that stays, but you get the point.
