NEWS RELEASE

JEFFERSON PARISH, LOUISIANA

June 18, 2021
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

NOTICE TO RESIDENTS OF UNINCORPORATED JEFFERSON PARISH AND THE TOWN OF JEAN LAFITTE:

Garbage and Recycling Collection Cancelled on Saturday June 19th Due to Approaching Storm
All Four Trash Drop-Off Sites Will Be Closed

JEFFERSON, LA - Curbside garbage and recycling collection are cancelled on Saturday, June 19, 2021 due to the approaching tropical storm. All four Jefferson Parish trash drop-off sites will be closed and will reopen for business on Sunday, June 20, 2021. There will be no make-up day for the missed collection. Residents who regularly receive collection on a Saturday will have their garbage and recyclables picked up on their next scheduled collection day, Wednesday, June 23, 2021.

Residents are asked not to place bulky waste at the curb for collection until the threat of the storm is over. Bulky items include medium and large tree limbs and logs, furniture, construction debris, household appliances, bagged debris, carpet and carpet padding. These items can pose hazards for homes and automobiles during high winds and can clog storm drains and contribute to street flooding during heavy rain events. Residents are urged to hold any large, bulk waste until the next scheduled pick-up day after the storm threat has passed.

We encourage all residents and businesses to secure their garbage cans and recycling containers in a safe location. Any loose trash, such as tree limbs, should be bundled, tied down and placed in a location where the debris cannot be exposed to high winds.

Collection updates are available on the Parish website at www.JeffParish.net. Residents can also receive regular updates by following the Parish on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram (@JeffParishGov).
