METAIRIE, La. (WGNO)— On Thursday, Jefferson Parish officials announced garbage collection in Lower Lafitte and Barataria will be taking place on Sundays instead of the routine Tuesday/Friday collection schedule.

This is a temporary measure that is being implemented to address immediate safety concerns and traffic delays involving the temporary bridge. 

River Birch Renewable Energy has established a lost tipper cart hotline for residents in Lafitte, Barataria, and Crown Point. Residents in areas that are accessible can call the Lafitte Area Cart Request Hotline at 504-272-2889. Deliveries of tipper carts will begin the week of Monday, October 18, 2021.
