Beau Chene’s storm debris removal is now covered under St. Tammany Parish’s debris removal contract. We are awaiting news from the parish regarding a timeline to commence the debris removal in Beau Chene. We believe it will start within a few weeks, if not sooner. The parish’s goal is to have debris pickup completed by the end of October.
Debris pickup will include vegetative (green) debris, white debris (appliances), and construction and demolition debris (sheetrock, baseboards, etc…). The different types of debris MUST BE SEPERATED in piles and placed near the curb and/or on the home side of the drainage ditches. FEMA contractor will not pickup electronics, hazardous waste or household garbage in Beau Chene.
-
Do not place debris in the road, drainage systems, on top of water meters or against trees, mailboxes, fences, fire hydrants, utility poles or gas meters. The contractors are using very large pieces of equipment to pick up these piles. Placing debris piles by these structures make removal difficult and dangerous.
-
Place debris in large piles.
-
Combining multiple small piles from neighbors together to make larger ones is more efficient.
-
Vegetative (green) debris MUST NOT include plastic bags
