garbage collection

According to Lafayette Consolidated Government, Acadiana Waste Services was not able to complete curbside collection routes today (Tuesday, January 16).

Freezing temperatures and possible precipitation in Louisiana compelled Lafayette leaders to shift garbage collection for next week, despite MLK Day.

For a lot of people in Lafayette Parish, they'll have to wait a day later than your normal trash pick-up day.

It has been nearly three weeks since Hurricane Ida battered the southeastern portion of Louisiana. And while power has been restored to much of the region, in New Orleans, residents are still waiting for trash pickups to resume.

One of the services that many of us will be looking forward to returning is trash pickup. For a good chunk of Acadiana, that won't be until Tuesday at the earliest.

Republic Services, which is contracted through Lafayette Consolidated Government, will run a day later than usual the weeks of Christmas and New Year's.

This is the week to dispose of all of that extra holiday trash. Here's what you need to know about when to bring it to the curb.

You can get rid of your yard waste free of charge by dropping it off at the Domingues Compost Facility at 400 Dugas Road.

The Lafayette City-Parish Council approved major changes to Lafayette's solid waste laws last night, now requiring unincorporated residents to sign up for waste management services and imposing fines on those who leave garbage cans near the road after pickup.

Most of you may be off of work on Good Friday, but not the folks with garbage and recycling collection.

The New Year's Day holiday means collection will move a day for many customers.

Environmental Manager for Lafayette Consolidated Government Mark Pope joined "Mornings With Ken & Bernie" today to discuss waste and garbage pickup for this holiday week.

Lafayette's Environmental Quality Manager Mark Pope says some Tuesday and Friday garbage customers in Lafayette will have their collection day changed.
