Contract costs will go up by $8m even with the loss of a day pick up.
Recycling to return in November.

When do they start giving out 2nd(or 3rd) garbage cans? And they haven't been picking up recycling?

I currently only get trash pickup once a week. It’s really not that big of a deal.

But the $8m rise in cost for 50% of the current service? That’s some bullshite right there.

The whole recycling thing is a joke. They take the trucks to the landfill, nothing is seperated, just dumped with the regular trash.

Once a week pickup could be coming to Baton Rouge as well. I'm told the current contract is being rebid, and regardless of what is eventually chosen or accepted, rates will rise. Given the size of homeowner trash cans, unless a family has diapers, or rotting crawfish heads, I'd think once a week would be enough for most.

Jeff Davis Parish has private pickup. Once a week. Two cans. $38 a month with Dillon Disposal.

Best trash pickup I ever experienced in my life. You put anything out there, they taking it.

It's amazing the level of service you receive when you remove the government's involvement.

mine wouldnt even come every week.

And since my day was Saturday we had a couple of holidays that fell on saturday this year and they didnt come those days either.

I would love for all of you to sit here and say no problem when the trash doesnt come for 3 weeks.

I’ve never lived anywhere that had trash pick up more than once a week. Ours does trash on Tuesdays, Yard Waste on Wednesdays. Recycling is put out every other week with trash. We have three large cans, two trash and one recycling. Any of them can be used for yard waste.

Never had an issue. And we have people over quite a bit during basketball/football season and pretty much every other weekend.

I just burn my trash. At least when there isn’t a burn ban.

My brother lives in Marietta, GA, where there is no city-provided (or mandated) garbage/trash/recycling service. There are a number of service providers, and each person chooses the service that best fits their needs. Unlike Baton Rouge and New Orleans, where homeowners have no recourse, people in Marietta can fire their existing contractor, and hire a new one, if the first guy is not performing per their agreement.
