New Orleans trash: City hasn’t picked up some residents’ garbage for weeks after Hurricane Ida
The rubbish pickup disaster comes as New Orleans remains to be feeling the results of Ida, its worst storm since Hurricane Katrina. The town estimated Monday that it had 200,000 cubic yards, or 54,000 tons, of particles to clear from the hurricane. As of Friday afternoon, 19 days because the storm made landfall, New Orleans had eliminated 23,786 cubic yards — lower than 12 % of the particles, based on information tracked by the town.
