What happened
The Iberville Parish government plans to ask its council to authorize restoring curbside trash service to a twice-a-week schedule for over 15,000 customers. This move reverses a change made in August 2012 when the parish reduced service to one day per week due to financial constraints. Pelican Waste & Debris provides the trash service for the parish and its municipalities.

Why it matters
The decision is supported by improved municipal finances. The one-third of 1-cent sales tax dedicated to solid waste disposal has increased by nearly 58% since 2015, rising from $4 million to $6.3 million last year. This has resulted in a trash service fund surplus of $16.2 million last year.
