NEW ORLEANS — The New Orleans City Council today passed an ordinance resetting the city’s sanitation fee for the first time since 2011 while implementing major reforms to create a more accurate, accountable and financially sustainable sanitation system.
Under the approved fee structure, residential customers currently billed for sanitation service will see an $8.25 monthly increase. The new fees largely close the sanitation services deficit, which was $24 million in general fund dollars last year.
NEW ORLEANS, LA – At its regular meeting today, the City Council adopted several pieces of legislation, including an amended ordinance to increase sanitation fees to offset rising collection costs and bring sanitation revenues more in line with service expenses. Additionally, the Council adopted an amended ordinance to impose a Carnival Gap Adjustment and Parades fee, among other measures.
NEW ORLEANS, LA — New Orleans households will keep curbside recycling as part of their sanitation service under the new collection model approved by the City Council today, an outcome Councilmember Lesli Harris has spent the better part of a year fighting for.
