Very comparable situations, I can see how you don’t get why people living in a city that pay for this might be upset.

The City of New Orleans offers twice weekly curbside trash collection to eligible residents and small businesses courtesy of Richard’s Disposal (properties located south of I-10) or Metro Disposal (properties located north of I-10). The French Quarter and Downtown Development District are serviced under a separate set of collection regulations and schedules by Empire Services.


According to Nola.gov

It's not comparable. Just pointing out that driving to the dump is not a big deal and I'd rather that than having rotting garbage around my house.

Then help. It's a disaster. You should understand and do something to make it easier. Instead you want all the city workers working extra to get you back to normal. That's selfish. I don't care how much you are paying..

she is very good at wanting people to do things for themselves that their taxes are supposed to be paying for.

Yeah I’m sure the New Orleans city dump is in a nice, safe part of town.

Hell fkn yeah I do. They aren't doing this for free. This is their job and they get paid. It's not like this is an unforeseen event in New Orleans.

IV trucks started showing up in my neighborhood and around the city. Not sure the details of agreement between Torres and Toya. I don't think it can even be disputed that he and his business interests are the only thing in New Orleans that's functional and seemingly efficient.

It's actually a big deal now because the garbage has rotted and most in the city don't have a truck. A lot of this population don't even have a car.

This isn't disaster related. It was bad before Ida. They've had a workforce problem for almost a year now.

what's selfish is collecting tax money from people, pocketing it and then asking people to just do themselves the jobs that those taxes are meant to pay for.

Yeah, because a handful of people living back in the holler, most of which probably buried or burned their garbage, is equivalent to a major US city in regards to the population and the amount of garbage produced.

At what point do you just have no other choice than to throw in the towel on that city? What’s the breaking point?

If feel like “hey we can’t pick up your trash but you’re welcome to bring it to the dump yourself” would be close to that point.

i'm sure this can be attributed to white supremacy somehow.

No thanks. This is just another thread for NO people to do their whoa is me routine and how bad everything is there. I don't really care how shitty the mayor is. She opened up a dump to the public so people can help get trash off the streets. Should have happened a long time ago. But people are upset they aren't getting serviced. So it's just a pity party. Enjoy..

Y'all should stack your garbage so it looks like a statue. It will be removed before sundown.
