JEFFERSON PARISH, LOUISIANA

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
NOTICE TO ALL RESIDENTS OF UNINCORPORATED
JEFFERSON PARISH AND THE TOWN OF JEAN LAFITTE:
GARBAGE AND RECYCLING COLLECTION WILL TAKE PLACE, AS SCHEDULED
ON FRIDAY OCTOBER 9th AND SATURDAY OCTOBER 10th, WEATHER PERMITTING
JEFFERSON, LA – Jefferson Parish is continuing to monitor weather conditions as Hurricane Delta approaches. As of Thursday, October 8, 2020, all Waste Connection’s routes are running as scheduled.
In an effort to pick up as much as possible from the streets, curbside garbage and recycling collection will occur as scheduled on Friday October 9, 2020 and Saturday, October 10, 2020, weather permitting. Please keep in mind that residents may experience collection delays because of possible heavy rains and street flooding as a result of Hurricane Delta.
“We appreciate your patience during this time and will provide updates if there are any changes,” said Katherine Costanza with Jefferson Parish Environmental Affairs.
Residents are advised of the following:
- When garbage or recycling collection must be delayed or postponed due to inclement weather, a reasonable effort will be made to pick up on the customer’s next scheduled collection day.
- Waste Connections will make every effort to remedy all weather-related misses in a timely manner. Please be aware that while your street may be clear, access to your neighborhood may not. After the severe weather event, drivers may need to deviate from their regular scheduled routes in order to make up for what was missed as a result of inclement weather. This may impact your collection.
- During approaching tropical storms or hurricanes, residents should not place bulky material at the curb for collection, as this poses a safety hazard.
- In areas that experience street flooding, residents are also advised to bring their cans in from the curb, and store them in a safe location.

Residents can also receive regular updates by following the Parish on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram (@JeffParishGov) or by texting JPALERT or JPNOTICIAS to 888-777.
