Baton Rouge, La. – March 1, 2023 – Garbage collection services for City-Parish are experiencing a surge of out-of-cart woody waste and hand piles. There is usually a gradual increase of woody waste in the late winter and early spring months; however, this year the increase has been more sudden due to the freeze late last year. City-Parish’s garbage contractor has committed to complete each day’s collection routes before proceeding to the next day’s routes. Residents may notice delayed collections in the upcoming weeks. City-Parish inspectors will be working to make sure everything is collected as timely as possible. Residents should report missed garbage collections to 311.
