Mission Statement
Creating a cleaner City is a top recovery priority. Mayor Nagin and the City Council Sanitation committee have taken bold steps to ensure that we have:
- Clean neighborhoods in which our citizens and children can live and play.
- Solid waste services that are collected and disposed in a safe, efficient, environmentally sound, and cost-effective manner
- Enforcement and Sanitation Codes that are designed to eliminate illegal dumping and littering.
Department of Sanitation Objectives
- Plan and direct all activities related to garbage collection, disposal, recycling, and street cleaning in a manner consistent with environmental safety standards;
- Ensure compliance of local, state, and federal regulations for solid waste collection and disposal;
- Fulfill Charter responsibilities and address environmental and neighborhood concerns while balancing fiscal impacts.
Notice:
Although the S&WB bills the sanitation fees, the City is responsible for management of the Sanitation program, including registration for the new garbage cans. You should direct your inquiries regarding problems with the City's garbage can registration website to either the City's webmaster or the Department of Sanitation by calling (504) 658-3800.
