Out-of-Cart Collections
The City-Parish is implementing new policies designed to spur more efficient collection of out-of-cart waste. Residents should adhere to the policies outlined below to support proper, timely collection.
Once per week out-of-cart service will be provided for items that do not easily fit in a garbage cart, such as:
bulk waste, including furniture, mattresses and box springs, carpet from a single room, bicycles, and toilets
bulk recyclables, including tires, white goods, and lawn mowers and trimmers
bagged yard waste
brush, branches, and tree trimmings
Out-of-cart collection services will have the following guidelines:
a maximum of 10 out-of-cart items per collection day
a maximum of 3 of those items can be bulk waste or bulk recyclables
brush, branches, and tree trimmings should be in bundles
brush, branches, and tree trimmings should not exceed the following size limitations:
maximum of 5 feet in length
maximum of 6 inches in diameter
bags, brush, branches, and tree trimmings should not exceed 40 pounds per item
A glossary of accepted materials, and their definitions, can be found here.
Landscapers, arborists, and other tree maintenance or removal companies are responsible for the removal of any such debris related to their work. The City-Parish encourages all residents to use licensed companies to maintain or remove any trees on their property and ensure their contract includes hauling services once the work is complete. Residents who perform their own tree maintenance or removal are responsible for contracting with a service to remove this debris from their property
This is the new policy i read. I have had a brush pile out front for a month now and need to figure out what to do.

Same issue. Been sitting there for two weeks. Are brush branches and trimmings different than tree maintenance?

Cutting it to size and putting it in my trash can.

Cut it small and put it in the can.

Looks like they should pick up brush once a week.

Doesn’t it read once a week pickup? I guess just cut up and put it in trash bags. I only do heavy cuttings once a year or so.

Cut it up into smaller sections and they will pick up.

Cut it smaller and bundle it. If it’s in chunks that won’t bundle, put it in contractor bags.
