Second Pass of Debris Removal About to Begin

As of Nov. 3, debris removal crews had picked up nearly 50,000 cubic yards of tree debris from Hurricane Ida on the first pass of streets in Central. This amount is considerably higher than the estimated 25,000 cubic yards originally anticipated. 

Debris removal crews will begin making a final pass down every local street again to pick up debris placed out after the first pass or debris not picked up on the first pass. DOTD has started their final pass down state highways, and the City-Parish has started their final pass down parish roadways.

If you have tree debris from the hurricane, it should have been placed by the street by Monday, Nov 1. Once crews clear a street, that street will be considered completed and property owners will be responsible for disposal of their debris if not placed out in time. Construction and fence material will be picked up on the final pass by separate trucks.

Your debris must be placed in separate piles of tree debris, construction/demolition debris, and fence debris. Mixed piles may not be picked up as the different materials go to different landfills. Tree debris cut down by a tree service or contractor shall be the responsibility of the tree service to remove.

There is no need to call to report your debris. Crews and monitors will pass down each street again.
