As we all gear up for the festive cheer of Christmas and New Year's, there's one change in routine Forest Park residents should note—garbage collection schedules are taking a slight detour during the holiday weeks. Forest Park's Local Government took to social media to inform everyone that there will be no collection service on Christmas or New Year's Day, which both fall on Thursdays this year. So before you start piling up those gift wrappings and party leftovers, make sure you've marked the new dates on your calendar.
The usual schedule will see a one-day delay during the holiday weeks. In a straightforward Facebook announcement, the City of Forest Park, Ohio, clarified that "The following collection day will be delayed one day during those 2 weeks." However, residents with Monday through Wednesday pick-up won't have to worry about remembering new days, as their services remain unchanged. For those used to a Friday schedule, your bins will be attended to on Saturday. The advice, "Tell your family and friends!" is spot on—nobody wants to miss the truck or deal with overflowing trash bins during the holidays.
If you're looking for more details or need a reminder closer to the date, keep an eye on the City of Forest Park's social media pages or their official Facebook post. This update serves as a simple yet essential heads-up in the midst of the holiday hustle, ensuring the season stays as bright and as clean as possible. So, jot down these shifts in your schedule, and let's all keep the holiday spirit free of any garbage collection woes.
