The City of Little Rock would like to remind residents that while buildings are closed to the public to slow the spread of the highly contagious COVID-19, essential tasks are still being performed.

For example, trash collection will continue as scheduled and essential staff is standing by to help residents conduct business via email or phone call. Those needing to make payments may do so at LittleRock.gov/onlinepayments

Business owners in need of financial assistance as sales suffer while people stay home to avoid contracting or spreading COVID-19, should look into the Economic Injury Disaster Loan Program from the Small Business Administration. A link is available on the LittleRock.gov/covid19 page where the City regularly shares updates about its COVID-19 response.

Those updates are also available via email to people who sign up for the city’s e-newsletter at LittleRock.gov/e-news.
