Has anyone in Mandeville actually seen storm debris being picked up?

I see the black trucks everywhere, just never picking anything up.

Have you posted on Nextdoor yet?

That’s why I’m here Out neighborhood Facebook group is getting lit. They are a short hair away from rounding up the debris and dumping it on Mike Coopers front step

They are waiting for FEMA to authorize the pickup which begin sometime within the next two weeks.

Perfect. I’ll give the go ahead to dump on Mikes front step

Mark Johnson posted yesterday that they are waiting for AT&T and Spectrum to get done before they start the big sweep in Covington. Said it would be gridlock with the utilities and debris pickup all clogging the streets. He's not wrong.

They were picking up on Hwy 21 south of I12 yesterday after lunch

only thing i seen picked up anywhere was private companies paid by homeowner to do it

they arent picking up anything anywhere for storm clean up

hell we only had one garbage pick up since the storm and before the storm our twice a week garbage was rarely picked up once a week. all forms of services are not even trying to do their jobs because they cant hire anyone to do the work

A couple of streets around me have stuff picked up but most don't in Baton Rouge. Since our trash can is picked up twice a week, I've been slowly loading it with storm stuff if there is extra space. I bet I will have mine picked up before the storm debris truck makes it out here. At this rate, I don't see how everything is picked up by end of year.

There is still debris in SW Louisiana that hasn’t been picked up from Laura
