Cut to the Curb August Mowing Schedule

 

 

"Cut to the Curb" is a joint collaboration between county government, neighborhood volunteers, and property owners to take joint responsibility for DeKalb County's curb appeal by mowing and cleaning all the way to the curb.

 

 

We are asking that volunteers (neighborhood ambassadors, adopt-a-road, civic and homeowner associations, individuals) show their support by removing signs and litter prior to the scheduled mowing date.

 

Get Involved and Make Your Community Stronger!
