Trucks for solid waste

The first of three trucks purchased for the Forrest City Solid Waste Department was delivered this weekend.

The city council this month approved the purchase of three vehicles for the department. The trucks will include this new front-loader, along with a used truck to be used as a backup and a second new side-arm truck for residential collection. Photo by Kendall Owens.
