LEAF PICK UP GUIDELINES ...
The regulations for having your yard debris picked up Every Wednesday by our service providers, Waste Management are as follows:
• Put your leaves and small yard debris in paper recycle bags. You are allowed up to 15 bags or bundles each week.
• Long limbs need to be in bundles no longer than 4 feet and no bigger in diameter than 4” and tied with twine.
• You may use a container other than your provided city cart as long as yard debris is all you put in the can. It is best to mark it “yard debris”.
We would like to take this opportunity to thank Waste Management for their continued efforts to help the citizens of Forest Park get their yard debris picked up every Wednesday. In an effort to help, Waste Management has been gracious enough continue to pick up as many bags of leaves that our citizens have placed out in plastic bags and as many as are put to the curb, even if there are more than 15 bags while the weather remains as nice as we have been experiencing until the end of the leaf season. Next year's leaf season will be restricted to pickup only as outlined in the regulations. |
SPECIAL HELP PROGRAM/Senior and Disabled
The City of Forest Park has implemented a new program for our senior and disabled citizens for the collection of yard debris. We understand that meeting the regulations for having your yard debris picked up is a difficulty for our disabled and senior citizens. In an effort to help, the Public Works crew will, in as timely a manner as possible, bag the leaves you have raked to the edge of the street by putting the leaves and small debris into the brown paper recycle bags you provide. The crew will also help to bundle the limbs and tie with twine. This will enable your yard debris to be picked up by Waste Management on the next Wednesday. If you fall in this category and need assistance with your yard debris, please call the office of Public Works at 404-608-2310 Monday through Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. You will then be placed on our special help list. We will need your name, phone number, residence address and where you will put the paper recycle bags for our crew to bag your leaves.
