Yard waste pick up EBR

I had to call them a year ago and schedule a date. Never had to do that before. Hope it helps

Picked them up from my house Monday and the prior Monday.

Big Big pile last Monday

Plus 3 lawn bags of weeds

Does anyone know why the city no longer picks up limbs from the curb on trash day? What are you supposed to with them?

Back in 2020 someone in city government misheard “defund the police” as “don’t pick up the leaves”

Looks like it's about time to take more family trips to the dump.

Thanks everyone. I guess I will call and schedule something. Geaux Tigers!

Technically they are no longer picking up piles that require a boom/grapple truck.

My hunch is that individual metro council members and our madame mayor-president got an earful of negative feedback about their mind-numbing stupid decision making abilities and now they are just quietly doing it if you call to complain enough and/or they randomly do it.

They renegotiated the contract with the vendor.

They raised our rates and grossly reduced the services. Win Win for the vendor and the city government kickback machine. Taxpayers fricked and no one cares.

Now they use any excuse to tell you your pile isn't in compliance and you have to remove it at your cost. My favorite is when they tell you that your debris is from a contractor and they must remove it. I cut the limbs myself, what about that pile makes them think a contractor did it?

Wish more people knew the rules. My neighbor cut up a 30" diameter tree and put it at the road thinking someone would put it up.

I made small neat piles this weekend and they picked them up Monday. 3 piles small branches 2-3” thick, one pile a twiggy leafy bitch but they got it all. I was not optimistic but ultimately grateful.
