St. Landry Parish Solid Waste Commission

Hurricane debris in St. Landry Parish and particularly in Eunice continues to present a cleanup challenge.

Eunice Mayor Scott Fontenot made the city’s case at Tuesday’s Board of Aldermen meeting that its crews should not be picking garbage.
“We are not the trash collector in the parish,” he said.

St. Landry Parish Solid Waste Commission members will receive an extra $50 for every meeting they attend.

The timing may have been off for Richard LeBouef, executive director the St. Landry Parish Solid Waste Commission, as he requested a per diem increase for commission members.

The St. Landry Parish solid waste landfill resumed public dumping at 6 a.m. today, according to Richard LeBouef, parish Solid Waste Commission executive director.
