Office Hours and Etc.
Effective 3/24/20, the Village of Forest Municipal Offices will be running on a limited schedule and will be open from 10:00 am to 2 pm, Monday- Friday. We will still be available to answer your phone calls daily (8 am to 5 pm) , by calling 419-273-2500.
Trash collection WILL CONTINUE on Tuesday’s each week. There is a three (3) bag limit and trash needs to be in bags and tied. Please have your trash to the curb by 8 am each Tuesday. If you have additional trash, it needs to have a trash tag (that can be purchased at the Municipal Building for $1.25 each) Any additional trash that is NOT tagged will be taken and assessed an additional fee of $2.50 per item. This is NOT a change from our normal procedure.
In addition, until further notice our recycling has been suspended. We will NOT be picking up recycling. Thus, we are increasing trash bag allowance to 3 bags. All trash/recycle items need to be in bags and tied at the top, as we are trying to limit exposure to our workers.
We are accepting volunteers who would be willing to assist other “at risk” residents in our community. If you are interested in being a volunteer, please contact Becky at the Municipal Building at 419-273-2500.
If you can help us identify any “at risk” residents, friends and neighbors (elderly, those with compromised immune systems, those on oxygen) please contact Becky at 419-273-2500 as we are compiling a list so that we may check in on them during this time we should be staying at home.
We understand these are difficult times for everyone. However, every decision we make is ALWAYS in the best interest of our employees, volunteers and residents. We appreciate your cooperation!
