LAFAYETTE, La. (KLFY) — If you have some debris on your property in Lafayette Parish as a result of Monday’s storms, here’s how to get rid of it.

Lafayette Consolidated Government has announced a comprehensive debris pickup program has already begun. Collection efforts have started and will be ongoing, including weekends, until completed. Due to the excess volume, the debris may not be removed on your regular collection day, but it will be taken care of, officials said.

Yard waste (limbs, branches and cut up trunks or logs) and construction debris (small amounts of neatly-piled fence boards and roof shingles) are eligible for collection.

All debris should be at least three feet away from obstructions like fire hydrants and mailboxes and should not be placed under power lines or in drainage ditches. Do not mix yard waste and other types of debris as that will delay the removal of the material.

Piles of trash that are not storm-related will not be removed.
