The City of Forest Park has an innovative option available to residents to financially encourage waste reduction. When choosing curbside waste and recycling service, residents can choose the Full Service option ($18 per month) or choose to pay significantly less ($13 per month) for the ECO-Tier option. The “ECO” of Eco-Tier stands for both “Economy” and “Ecology.”
Residents in the ECO-Tier program receive the same amount of recycling service as full service but choose between a 35-gallon and a 65-gallon trash container collected weekly. All weekly trash must fit in the selected container. Any additional bags must have a $1 sticker that residents can purchase from Forest Park.
