Tree and limb debris can be taken to the landfill located on Country Club Road. You will need to come over the scales to be weighed, then will be directed across the street to the dog pound where we are collecting everything.
Citizens may place limbs and debris next to the street and call City Hall 870-837-5500 to give us your address. We will come by and pick this up this week as weather permits.
Public Works is currently removing trees from streets. However, we can not move trees with electric lines in them. Please call 1-800-ENTERGY to report. Once the lines are removed, we will come remove the tree.
Thank You for your patience as we are working together with Entergy and all City Departments to get everyone back ono with power as soon as possible.

Camden Fire Department Information!!
The Camden Fire Department will be conducting hydrant flow tests throughout the city this week, March 9-13, in order to help develop plans for future emergency operations. As part of this testing, large volumes of water will be flowed from hydrants, which may disturb sediment in water mains.
This may cause discolored water to appear at faucets. Customers should run water from cold taps (not hot) until the water clears, and use caution when doing laundry, as any discolored water may stain clothes. Hydrants are expected to be tested at the following locations today (Monday, March 9), but these locations may change, and sediment may be stirred up several blocks from them.
• 2500 Block of Ridgeview Road NW
• Intersection of Maul Road NW and Sharp Avenue NW
• Intersection of McCullough Street NW and Helen Avenue NW
• Intersection of West Washington Street and Eagle Avenue NW
• Intersection of Ridgeway Street NW and Berg Avenue NW
The department will attempt to prevent or limit as many issues as possible. We appreciate your understanding as we continue working to keep you safe!
