Debris Pick-up
The site will provide details on how debris should be separated, organized, and placed, in order to be serviced. The site also lists specifics on how to dispose of any debris in black garbage bags at Lamar Dixon. Within the website, a GIS web map has been prepared to assist in tracking the general location of where these efforts are

-Working (in-progress)
-Planned
-When first pass has been completed
-When the area has been cleared

At a point in the future, the site will contain the option to self-report debris piles that may have been missed. The site is designed and built by our GIS team and may be accessed via phone or computer by clicking here.

f there are any questions or comments, residents are encouraged to contact our Citizen Service Center at (225) 450-1200. Residents do not call to be put on the list for debris pickup – we will be picking up on all our roads and will make several passes.
