Forney City Council Votes to Continue Waste Services with CWD

Forney City Council has decided to continue its partnership with CWD for solid waste and recycling services, following a recent meeting on August 19, 2025. The council voted to deny a motion that would have authorized the city manager to issue a request for proposals (RFP) for these services, opting instead to renew the existing contract with CWD.

During the meeting, council members discussed the importance of clear communication regarding waste collection services. Residents can expect to find information about scheduled pickups on the city’s website, ensuring they are informed about when to place bulk items out for collection. CWD representatives confirmed that there are no additional costs for these services, as they are included in the monthly charge.

The decision to maintain the current service provider was made after a thorough discussion about the implications of seeking new proposals. The council emphasized the need for continuity in service and the importance of reliable waste management for the community. With this decision, the city will work with CWD to finalize a contract renewal, ensuring that residents continue to receive consistent and efficient waste collection services.

This resolution reflects the council's commitment to addressing community needs and maintaining effective public services. As the city moves forward, residents can expect ongoing updates and improvements in communication regarding waste management services.
