Attention Forrest City Residents:
Garbage pick-up was delayed this week due to a garbage truck being out of service. The truck has now been repaired and is back in operation.

We appreciate your patience and understanding as we work to get all trash collected as quickly as possible. Please bear with us, and rest assured your garbage will be picked up soon.

Thank you for your continued support!

Attention Citizens of Forrest City

We kindly ask everyone to please stop blowing or raking grass into the streets. When grass clippings are left in the roadway, they eventually wash into the storm drains — and this causes serious drainage problems for our entire community.

Clogged drains lead to flooding, street damage, and costly cleanups that affect all of us.

Let’s work together to keep Forrest City clean, safe, and flood-free. Dispose of grass properly and help us protect our city’s drainage system.

Thank you for your cooperation!
